[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 368983, member: 6546"] Hello and welcome-- By all means, let the docs refer you to a specialist! Get help (and a diagnosis) now, while your child is still young. In the opinion of many parents here on the board, "ODD" is not a diagnosis as much as it is a description. (When you heard it, didn't you feel like saying "Yes, I [I]know[/I] my child is oppositional and defiant...I want to know WHY ?!?" ) Usually, there is something going on that is causing your child to act out in all these extreme ways. The only way to find out what is to get a thorough evaluation... Meanwhile, hang in there...and make sure you are protecting yourself and your younger child. Do not leave the baby in a situation where the older son could hurt him during on of his outbursts. [/QUOTE]
