[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 245203, member: 6546"] Hello Stella-- Welcome to the Forum! That advice to "ignore bad behavior" and "catch them being good"--well, you can flush that right down the toilet when it comes to these kids. Especially since their "bad behaviors" are the results of their losing complete control of themselves. First things first, you really do have to prepare her bedroom as a "safe zone" by removing anything glass, fragile, sharp etc. Until her condition is under control, she will continue to smash things--you need to make sure that she is causing as little damage and INJURY as possible. If she is actually physically attacking you--you have permission to call 911. Police can remove her from your home if she is causing harm and may take her to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation and treatment if she is out of control. Next, it sounds like you need to get a more in-depth diagnosis. What sort of professional diagnosed ODD? What sort of neurological testing has been completed? Let us know...we are all here to offer comfort and advice. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
