[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 99218, member: 1550"] Welcome, Anna. Long time Warrior Mom here with little suggestions beyond how to discipline him (other than to say that whipping him into shape won't work). You may want to add a signature, like I did below. Are there any psychiatric problems or substance abuse on either side of your child's genetic tree? Any delays as a child? Speech problems? Trouble socializing? I would re-evaluate him. Has he ever seen a neuropsychologist? They do the most intensive testing of any professionals and often find answers when others don't--including Psychiatrists (with the MD). ADHD with ODD is often a misdiagnoses. It can be one of many other things, but if it as treated with only stimulants and behavioral therapy, it only gets worse. If your son is getting worse, it would not surprise me if the ADHD/ODD diagnosis. is not the reason he is inattentive and acting out. Since your son is almost a teen now, I feel it is imperative to get proactive in having him evaluated completely--bad things can happen to teens with disorders. Other than that, I recommend buying "The Explosive Child" to hold down the fort until you get another opinion on what may be causing your child's defiant behavior. If we hadn't dug deep, we never would have found the real reason why my son was "different." I would turn a deaf ear to teachers and family who know it all. They don't know any more than you do. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
