[QUOTE="chuckles, post: 59807, member: 3864"] Another ditto here! I suspect that my daughter (3yrold) has oppositional defiance disorder, but it has also occurred to me that it may be bi-polar. Her behaviour is almost identical. Still :censored: her thumb (though mostly only at bedtime) and wears nappies for night sleeps. Those are just things that I never considered may play a part, but who knows? She displays a very independent and determined attitude. Whether she uses it to behave nicely - and when she does it's wonderful - or to misbehave - in which case she is totally out of control, defiant, destructive, rude... (when she's good she's very very good, but when she's bad she's horrid!). We too have good reports from daycare - she's a little angel there - but at home, where she's in her safe-zone, and with Nanny (who also seems to be apart of her safe-zone) she can be a litle horror. A couple of things that I am noticing play a major part in this: food allergies, and cod liver oil. The food allergies are foods with additives (which encompasses about 90%t of foods in the supermarket) and foods that are high in salycilates - which my sister and my grandmother were allergic to. By reducing salycilates to only her veggies in dinner, and by removing additives from her diet, her behaviour has improved 10 fold. The other thing, the cod liver oil (omega 3) has helped to stabilise her moods. We have just had an episode this morning, because we were silly enough not to get another packet in time, and she has not had it in two days. So if they are things that you haven't tried, I reccommend them - it isn't the ultimate cure, but it takes the edge off so to speak, and it's natural. I'm trying star charts at the moment, but our biggest hindrence is me remembering! Good luck with everything! Chuckles [/QUOTE]
