[QUOTE="whattodowhattodo, post: 180416, member: 5667"] Hello, I was not thinking that SRL would post that, so a bit more about us to fill in the holes. I have depression diagnosis, medications daily. Started as post pardom, still here 5 years later. Hubby fairly normal, no diagnosis, younger daughter, 2 1/2 who is speech delayed and sees state birth to 3 speech therapist. We initially thought she might have ADHD, but we did the forms and went to see the therapist. Her scores were way above clinical range on ODD. She was borderline ADHD, but below clinical, so they told us to put tp put that on the back burner and reassess in 6-12 months for ADHD We had to se a follow up appointment to set a behavior plan, and the next appointment was about 6-7 weeks out. I know it should be sooner, and I think we should go as a family, and her alone, but they are pretty booked. The psycologist diagnosed her with ODD, and with all that I have read in the last few weeks, she totally fits the bill. Basically her teacher, my husband and I each filled out forms, and we had an hour long appointment. I would love to get started on a behavior plan and helping her, I just have no idea where to start. I requested about 5-10 books about parenting the ODD child, and how to help them. There are 8 characteristic of ODD and I see 6-7 of them on a daily basis. the main struggle for me right now is her defiance of authority, and arguementitiveness with any adult who tells her what to do. I have tried ignoring her, telling her that's the way it is, rewarding her for good behavior, 1 2 3 magic and much more. I try to stay consistant and calm, but with depression and me being a bit controling I don't always manage that. "the issue at hand is how the child is feeling not the actual situation" is what you wrote and I so agree. She will be soo upset or defiant or argumentative, all about not being able to get her shirt on right the first time, or that we have to stop at a store on the way home, or her sister ( 2 1/2 years) walking within 5 feet of her. I don't know whether to get super strict on her, which I know will cause her to rebel more, but maybe she'll come around after she give up being defiant, or to ignore it all and pretend like she's not all upset and whatnot, or how to start with her. No therapy appointment til the end of the month....oh so long.... Kristy:raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
