My 3 1/2 year old son has just been dianosed with ADHD, ODD and a Mood Disorder (mostly likely Bipolar, but due to his age they arent specifying yet). My Mom is having some really difficulties coming to terms that her grandson has these issues... She often will downplay episodes to myself and others while he is in her care. She also tends to brush his aggressive behavior off as normal sibling behavior - Which I feel goes WAY beyond "normal" (hitting, biting, scratching, etc.)She also wants to keep his dianosis hush, hush, I quote "This is a private family matter"... It saddens me that she feels the need to push this under the rug, like she is asshamed - Does anyone have any ideas for me as to how to deal with this situation? Are there any good books out there that I can reccommend that she read?
