[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 131741, member: 1233"] sending hugs. Please push for more than a diagnosis than ODD. As explained above, CD is a very serious problem and ODD is usually a symptom of something else. And MANY of us have started with ADHD diagnosis only to find out down the road that it is something else. I would push to have both children evaluated in the near future. It should not be hard to get your son into the doctor based on his weight. Who prescribes his medications and what do they say about his weight? I know that others here try to feed a big breakfast before hte medications are taken, and then a generous "snack" at bedtime. As for your daughter, it may be that the program isn't a good fit. No program is a good fit for all kids. Is there not pre-K at the local school starting at age 4? Here we have pre-K at age 4 for any/all children. There are other interventions for special problems in addition to this. Often, if a child has ADHD or other issues it is actually helpful to be a bit older than the other children. A matter of maturity, I think. 4 is fairly young to expect a child to have full night-time control over their bladder, and even over bowel movements. At least this is what we were told with regards to a cousin. For help in managing the kids, many of us have had great results from the book "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. I also have had amazing luck with Love and Logic. We have used a number of the books, and some of the audiotapes. You can check out Love and Logic at [URL="http://www.loveandlogic.com"]www.loveandlogic.com[/URL] . I find that even the stuff aimed at teachers is helpful. The free audio download by Dr. Charles Fay is very amusing and packed iwth helpful strategies. (I got to go see this man speak years after we started with this program - he is amazing!) [/QUOTE]
