[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 376963, member: 7371"] Hi, Tearna. Marg has some great advice. It's really important to trust your instincts. I had early concerns about my difficult child (at about age 3) and the pediatrician said he was just showing "negative behavior." In my heart I felt there was a bigger problem, but he was my first child and I thought the doctor must know more than I do. Well, by not following up, we just ended up prolonging the agony, making life more difficult for difficult child and for the whole family. We didn't start the path toward a "real" diagnosis and treatment until years later when a neighbor mentioned that he might have ODD and I began to do some research. I also think I could have been more effective had I discovered The Explosive Child earlier. Hugs -- and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
