[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 541243, member: 3419"] Welcome, Colorkittens. I am so sorry. I'm thinking there's a genetic link with-the bio dad. And the good part is, you can probably get it under control with-the right medications and right diet. The bad part is living with-it now. ODD can stem from any number of things. You can be ODD and have Asperger's, or bipolar, or borderline, or anxiety ... you get the idea. So it's really just an adjective, as far as I'm concerned. The stress of living with-her bio dad every other wk and dealing with-his issues is definitely making it worse. I would get a bunch of books from the library (I think there's a book list on one of these pages) ... The Explosive Child, The Depressed Child, The Bipolar Child, The Manipulative Child, and learn as much as you can about kids like this and how you can think outside the box. One thing is to choose just one issue at a time to work on. IOW, if she hits, just work on the hitting issue for a few wks. Give her little rewards ... a piece of candy or whatever each time she yells but doesn't hit. Or work on voice volume. But to work on everything at once is too overwhelming for both of you. [/QUOTE]
