[QUOTE="aeditha17, post: 114482, member: 4486"] I guess I am behind the ball. I should probably get this book. I have a brilliantly difficult 5 year old just diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and ODD and I am walking the line between dogged determination and throwing a complete hysterical tantrum myself. She can be sweet and compliant and can listen occasionally, but then the claws come out and she digs in. She acts almost like she's 14 with the "I said NO!"s and "I donj't want to"s. Our developmental pedi didn't offer us much except the diagnosis and SSRI medications, but she's so little. We are meeting with a therapist on Thursday to start behavior modification (for both her and us!!). My desperation comes from having just run the gauntlet these past 4 years with my 11 year old who has Tourette Syndrome and ADHD so bad he managed to get all the way to school without his shoes on. What are we going to do??? Our school drops the ball on a daily basis, and just when I think I might have a handle on him, we find this out about her halfway through her kinder year. ARGH! I sincerely hope that my blurb here is indicative of a newbie parent just coming to grips with my glorious and precious difficult children!
