[QUOTE="Loving Abbey 2, post: 149884, member: 4845"] Hi Welcome. Have you read the Explosive child by Ross Greene? If not, get it now. It will be very helpful towards finding some sanity. Many, many kids are able to hold it together during the day and then fall apart at home. Home is the safest place--it's like an ironic gift from mother nature. As parents we all blame ourselves. And of course we have all made mistakes learning to parent our children. This is a good place to get some feedback and support. Can you tell us some more about her history? Did she hit all of the typical developmental milestones on time? When did the difficulties begin? Etc. In my opinion, ODD is not a real diagnosis, it describes a pattern of behaviors but those behaviors have an underlying cause. Sometimes it is a mood disorder or anxiety disorder or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Try to look deeper than ODD. There are many schools of thought on the evaluation options. In my opinion you need either a neuropsychological or a multi-disciplinary evaluation. The neuropsychologist has the best chance of being covered by insurance. If possible have it done at a children's hosptial. Any evaluation should be done by a doctor, not a therapist. Stick around, I'm sure others will be along to offer support and/or advice. [/QUOTE]
