[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 433860, member: 6546"] MrsMo-- Hello and welcome! No, it doesn't sound like a typical four year old to me. It DOES sound like he is having some difficulty regulating his emotions. (You mentioned he tried to ask you nicely, but would burst out screaming instead). He doesn't handle things well when he does not get what he wants when he wants it: raisins, snuggle time, attention, etc. And it sounds like he is having trouble getting along with others. "Oppositional Defiant" is more of a description than a disorder, in my humble opinion, and if you can find a solution to the underlying problem, the oppositional behaviors should subside. You should talk with your pediatrician about a referral to a pediatric neuropsychiatrist for testing and an accurate diagnosis. Don't let a pediatrician tell you "Oh yeah, ADD and ODD - that sounds about right" and just rx something...which sadly, some of them do too readily. Go get a thorough evaluation done. [/QUOTE]
