[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 306299, member: 2423"] Welcome! I'm glad you found us, but sorry you needed to. In your signature, you say that Levi was recently diagnosed with ODD. Can you tell us a little more about what that looks like. Are you sure it's not something else? I ask because around here we like to say that ODD is not a helpful diagnosis. It generally describes a set a behaviors with an underlying cause. When the underlying cause is identified and treated, the oppositional behaviors typically improve. To that end, I'm going to ask you some questions so you can help us help you: What kind of doctor diagnosed Levi? How does he do in school, both academically and with peers? Did he have any speech or developmental delays? Any sensory issues (for example, sensitivity to loud noise, clothing tags, etc)? What behaviors are you seeing that particularly concern you? I also recommend reading The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. It has helped many of us on this board parent our extra-challenging children. Again, welcome. [/QUOTE]
