[QUOTE="Chele, post: 91210, member: 4189"] I don't know much about ODD my 17 year old was just diagnosed with it this year. Still learning. I do know that ADHD and ODD are much of the same but ODD is worse. So, my vote it YES!!!! She is raging, telling and having a fit to get you upset. To get attention. They live for the thrill of excitement and getting big reactions from their parents. After about two years of this with my son, and I lived in an emotional mess and mad at him 90% of the time, I finally decided that I was not going to give him the satisfaction of getting a rise out of me. Plus, I hated to see how all the drama was affecting my 13 yr old easy child daughter. So, I just made sure that when I grounded him, I always left some additional items to ground him from if and when he started his fits. I changed my whole stratagy on grouding from a week to only a day or night. This was mainly because I couldn't stand being grounded myself and I needed to have leverage to take stuff away. TV, phone, easy child, Cell phone and of course social events. Try reading the book "123 Magic. It really helped us when the behavior got out of control. Good luck [/QUOTE]
