[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 50041, member: 10"] Hi, in my humble opinion diagnosis's on the whole don't tell you much. The ODD/CD diagnosis tells you what the kid does and not why - it could be personality, neurologically based, developmental delay , poor behavior can also be seen as a type of learning disability. Even if a kid does not fit into a diagnosis , it does not mean the kid has not got a problem. from [url="http://thinkkids.org"]http://thinkkids.org[/url] 'the CPS model suggests that challenging kids often lack crucial cognitive skills executive skills, language processing skills, emotional regulation skills, problem-solving skills, and social skills and that this makes it extremely difficult for them to respond to lifes social, emotional, and behavioral challenges in an adaptive fashion. For a list of the skills we frequently find lacking in challenging kids, click here. This orientation has important ramifications for clinical care and practice. For example, we dont put a lot of stock in diagnoses, since diagnoses dont help people specify the skills a given child may be lacking (and therefore dont help people understand the childs difficulties very well). Nor do we have much faith in standard contingency management programs because consequences dont teach lagging thinking skills. ' As for medication ,medications are primarily treat symptons and the same medication can be used across many dxs. Interventions especially behavioral ones are a function of how one views a kid. Is it mainly kids do well if they can or kids do well if they want to. If it is kids do well if they want to , this may justify standard behavioral modification reinforcements. I believe that the majority of kids want to do well if they can , they want to be successful , liked , get on with their families. Often distorted thinking , poor coping skills gets in their way. Do you have a difficult child or a child with difficulties ? There are different approaches and naturally you parent according to what feels right to you. With or without dxs , the kids here have issues and in most cases we have to go beyond the label Allan [/QUOTE]
