[QUOTE="Joolz, post: 345816, member: 9128"] Hi all! I'm new to this board, but I guess this is good as a place to start as any. My difficult child was a perfect baby, especially compared to my older easy child who had colic and was clingy. difficult child changed around the time she started walking (about 10 months) and has been a handful ever since. We kept brushing off her bad behavior as "terrible twos," "tiresome threes," "ferocious fours," and prayed that she would outgrow it. Last year my husband and I finally started to admit that there was truly something more going on here. It has been especially difficult since we, her immediate family, are the only people that she lashes out at. We were looking for confirmation with teachers and other parents, but she seemed like an average kid to them. Often things at home would come to a peak and just as we were about to seek help, they smoothed over and we moved on with our lives. Recently,after about four weeks of increasingly volatile and relentless tantrums, we finally sought out a therapist. She suspects ODD as well as other neurologically based problems, but difficult child has not yet been officially evaluated. I'm just glad to have found this forum. It validates that what my family and I are going through is REAL and that there are others out there dealing with this everyday. Thanks for sharing, it helps a great deal. [/QUOTE]
