[QUOTE="KitKat, post: 125074, member: 4518"] Wow. Five years of age is young for this. Not young for a prelim diagnosis, but perhaps young to be confirming it in front of your little one. I agree with some of the comments I have seen in this thread; a family meeting at this time may not accomplish what you are hoping. Try to take one step at a time - whether it be asking him to pick up his toys, get himself ready for an outing or school etc... is really the key. I have been in the ADHD/ODD/CD boat with my stepson for over 11 years now and this really works. The example of "pick up your toys" vs "pick up one toy and have others join it" really DOES work. Also, this current diagnosis might evolve into something else - so you might not want to be applying labels at this point. So many things could change in the next few years (I know they did in our family with regard to behaviour and diagnoses) and your son has enough to worry about (as do you - I know). I really feel for you - {(((hugs)))}. Don't forget to take time to BREATHE and know that whatever happens, you will have the strength to deal with it. KitKat [/QUOTE]
