[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 70112, member: 1722"] Hi and welcome. First some questions: How has her development been? Any health issues? (I'd see the pediatrician about the wetting soon) Does she frustrate easily or do a slow boil? Any peculiar habits or rituals in regard to food, clothing, activities? Does she do well academically? Any friends yet? Also, are there any family members with mental illness, neurological problems or substance abuse problems? When did you first notice something wasn't right? You'll probably want to get a copy of Ross Greene's The Explosive Child. This book will help you choose which battles to fight with your daughter as our kids tend not to respond to traditional parenting. There is also a post at the top of this forum which goes into some detail. Most, but not all of us, have had the experience that our child's ODD is linked to an underlying disorder or issue. My daughter had extremely bad allergies that affected her because she seldom felt well & she didn't sleep well. This seems to have fed her sensory problems and made her highly irritable and frustrated. While there may still be some underlying problems (she's kind of awkward, etc), she has improved dramatically since her underlying condition has been addressed. We had a physical condition to contend with and others have had mood disorders, other mental health issues or developmental delays to contend with. [/QUOTE]
