[QUOTE="Stella, post: 259387, member: 6837"] Hi Cupcake, There are a lot of different books out there with a lot of different strategies but I think it's best to stick to one. I see Everywoman recommended The Explosive Child and I think you've said you've ordered this. I suggest that you read this the second it arrives in the post and go along with the strategy as outlined in this book. Many moms on here have found it very useful especially when dealing with a child with ODD. I agree that withdrawing priviledges and removing everything for her room is not a realistic approach and if you are already so doubtful that this approach will work with your child then it probably won't work as you know her best. As far as an appointment with a Neuropsychologist I think the best way to go about it is to ask for an appointment from your GP. Most of them seem to be based in the mainstream hospitals here. As far as the professionals that you have met so far are concerned, it seems they have already let you down.. It's time to become an advocate for your daughter, read, research and educate yourself as much as you can and one thing i've learned the hard way - be assertive. If it becomes evident that these people are not reading the relevant notes etc regarding your child, you have to put your foot down. Otherwise this will drag on another few years before you get answers and she is already 14 and hormones are kicking in. You need help NOW. Best of luck and keep us posted!!! [/QUOTE]
