New to this forum, but soooo glad to have found it.
We believe our 7-yr-old daughter (aka difficult child) will soon be diagnosed with ODD... all of the behaviors fit to a T, but the most disruptive one is that she SCREAMS when frustrated or angry -- and it doesn't take much for either emotion to come into play.
She is generally able to keep it together at school, church, and other public places, and even at home when guests are around, but otherwise it is the Screaming Mimi Show. We haven't found a good strategy for dealing with it. Even when we work to help her with the frustrating situation, there's still lots of screaming.
Any suggestions???
