[QUOTE="Malika, post: 418172, member: 11227"] Whatever the case, it sounds like you have a "spirited" child :-) Have you read or do you know of "Raising your Spirited Child"? (I don't have the author to hand). Part of my problem with the ADHD/ODD diagnosis in one so young - without in any way wanting to discourage you from getting her evaluated - is that some children really can seem pretty much like your daughter in the toddler/pre-school years and then change enormously... I have known one such case myself (and witnessed the transformation!) and heard of others anecdotally. I do feel myself that three is a little too young to be concerned about lack of clear moral sense... But totally understand your concern, especially given your experience with your other child. For what it is worth, I again just wanted to say a word in favour of "keep your options open", while also getting any intervention or evaluations that are available to you and seem helpful. [/QUOTE]
