[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 338754, member: 805"] Hi Heather, Glad you have found your way here with us. You know, babies don't come with a manual. Parenting is tough and sometimes we need to use our lifeline. Here's your lifeline time.... What type of counselor is your daughter seeing? Usually, not always, ODD is a kind of blanket diagnosis given to a set of behaviors that don't fit within a particular category, or a diagnosis when a doctor is not experienced in dealing with the, often very complicated, issues that these kids deal with. Beginning couseling is just that, a beginning. How does the school deal with your daughter? Has she had behavior issues at school? Has she ever been referred for a child study or IEP evaluation? I believe, were I in your shoes, that I would get a recommendation from your pediatrician for a pediatric psychiatrist or a pediatric neuropsychiatrist. You are going to want them to due a full evaluation on your daughter. It may take some time to get an appointment. In the meantime, I would suggest the book, "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It's kinda like the board bible! Again, I'm glad you've found your way to us. Sharon [/QUOTE]
