[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 342642, member: 805"] It is hard for an adult, who has never dealt with difficult child issues, to begin parenting a difficult child with compassion and understanding. So many folks outside our loops think the kids are just discipline cases. The hard-handed approach is rarely successful with these kids of ours (and very often makes it worse). I agree also that a more complex and complete evaluation is needed for your son. ODD is usually a name given for particular behaviors that are caused by something else altogether. A children's hospital or teaching university are good places to start. Also, you could get a recommendation from his peditrician. Have you read "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene? If not, run, don't walk, to your nearest library or book store and get the book. It's an absolute necessity for difficult child parents! Welcome to the site. Sharon [/QUOTE]
