[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 301812, member: 3419"] Hi Christina, welcome. Gosh, what a good mom you are. All those kids, and homeschooling, too. First off, I would take away the PS2. ODD is often related to ADHD, which means that the frontal lobes are creating excess electrical energy and it's like a tankful of caffeine. All stressed out with-no place to go. He needs lots of physical exercise. Beating up his little sister doesn't count. ;) What's causing the ODD and ADHD is something you need to figure out. These things rarely resolve themselves. He's going to need a lot more structure and interventions than the other kids, from what I can see. My son has made me cry so often, I wouldn't even dare to count. by the way, with-the evaluation, get a psychoeducational exam to see if he's on grade level with-his learning. That isn't a slam to your homeschooling, it's to see if his visual/spatial/mathematical/verbal skills are at the same developmental level. For example, when I first had my son tested at age 8, he tested 3 or 4 gr levels ahead in culture and sociology, particularly in talking/speaking. But when asked to come up with-a creative idea for something, he was completely mute. As it turned out, he is very good at parroting, and as a family, we are very "up" on current events and politics. He was at kindergarten level in math. Yet he aced some tests and flunked others. Again, parroting. He didn't understand the concepts. He was a passed master at faking his way through things. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
