[QUOTE="Misscurly, post: 348314"] Hi, im new here from the UK. I am desperate for any help or advice. My 6 year old son has suspected ODD. [COLOR=Black]School[/COLOR] and health visitor and myself all think he has. Just waiting for a appointment with a therapist/councial/doctors. :sad-very: I have been a single parent since he was 8 months old, He has always been a very demanding/attention seeking/strong willed/stubborn child...but the last year it has gone from every other day to almost constantly acting out. Myself and school have tried all versions of time out/been on all the parenting courses/rewards/sticker charts/confiscating toys and taking priviliages away....nothing seems to make a single bit of difference. ..in his words "not bothered" "dont care" or his favourite "whatever" School have put him on a CAF report and has now requested help from a organisation called DESCS to help and support them with him in school. His behaviour at [COLOR=Black]school[/COLOR] is so bad they now wont have him in the class, he refuses to do his work (so he is falling behind) He is more than capable of the work he just refuses to do it. Rude/tantrums/aggresive towards teachers (sometimes other classmates) general defiance. He loses his temper like the switch of a button for no apparent reason sometimes. Awkward/rude/ constant rude back chat/everything is someone elses fault/ lies and aggressive towards myself, teachers and the rest of my family. Most days he has me in tears, i have been told the waiting list for treatment/counciling are "months" long...but what do i do with him till then?????? :knockedout: Please any suggestions/ideas would be grately appreciated Oh and most importanly is that i love him with all my heart and soul.:happy: He can be such a lovely little boy that is kind and loving and funny and will follow instructions. But this side to him seems to be only 10% of what he is like now, i start each day with a clean slate. But its getting harder and harder to be positve when you have a 6 year old battering any confidence you have Thank you :-) [/QUOTE]
