[QUOTE="ShesMakingMeCrazy, post: 688155, member: 20323"] I'm beginning to think that diagnoses are overrated. To an extent they help, such as when you know a person is Bipolar or ADHD, you can use specific medications to combat the problems. But with vague catch-all terms like ODD, it is all about learning management techniques for challenging children. For the most part these techniques seem pretty consistent. We know that "Plan A" parenting (reward/punishment) does not work with these kids or they wouldn't be "difficult" in the first place. My daughter and I have been taking Tae Kwon Do since Oct. I started this because I read that this type of activity is especially helpful with ADD. It turns out I have ADD too, I just didn't know it until now. Anyway, we have found the classes very helpful for stress reduction, bonding, discipline, focus, etc. I told the instructor about what was going on and he suggested bringing her to class 5 nights a week. I don't know if this is possible logistically, but I'll try. MommaK, have you tried to get your dtr into Jiu jitsu, or some other martial art? [/QUOTE]
