first let me say that I am new to form postings so forgive me if I have posted in the wrong area.
I have a very sweet active 5 yr old who starts kindergarten in two weeks. She has been diganosed with a range of disorders over the past several years. It is frusting to me as a parent that my daughter has so issues, however she is very smart and understands when we go in for a test and can turn on the charm.
She has been diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, meets the markers for Combative disorder, generalized anexity, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), aspergers, and now they are saying possibly bi-polar.
When she is one on one with someone she does wonderful, group settings depends on her mood. She has thrown chairs, stabbed, kicked the hole spectrum when it comes to behaviors when she is having a fit.
Short and sweet of it all, I am frustrated that I am told that one I am a bad parent, I may not be the greatest in the world but I feel that I take good care of my children. I have been told that her behaviors is due to the age difference between her and her sister, there is 9 yrs. I divorsed the kids father when my youngest was a year old, I have been told that is the cause of her behavior.
It has been suggested to me now by a developmental peditrican who we have been trying to get and see that my child is a lost cause and after months of being on the waitng list for an appointment, I am now told that they will not see her. We have seen multiple psychologist each one with a different opinion, we have a thearpist we see each week, plus a medication doctor who has yet a whole different opion.
I guess I am looking to see if anyone else has had a simular struggle with their child and trying and getting help for them.
Many times I am given the answer more medications, we already are on some but i am told give her more medications when she is aggressive and that does not help the problem.
Any suggestions would be wonderful
Thank you and God Bless
