[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 494452"] Did the psychologist diagnose ODD? Does the psychologist have their PhD? For most of us here, ODD is not a "real" diagnosis as in MOST of our kids are oppositional and defiant. The key is to figure out WHY. Many of our kids are such that typical standard punishments don't work with our kids. It sounds like you need to have him evaluated by a neuropsychologist and since they are usually booked months out, a Child Psychiatrist would work in the meantime. I HIGHLY recommend that you read The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. For many of us, it has been a lifesaver! It will help you get to the WHY of his behavior. It's kind of like a water leak in your house. You can try to fix where the water is coming through the ceiling but unless you fix the leak in the PIPE, the leak isn't fixed. No amount of punishment is going to work, as you've already stated. It can, however, make things worse. It's time to try something new. I am very glad you found us but more than sorry you had to. You will find a LOT of support here. I hope all support and advice is taken the way it is intended, with understanding and caring. ALL of us have been there so we understand. [/QUOTE]
