Hi all... I'm new to this forum. I have 2 boys, my oldest is 9 and was diagnosis with Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) (auditory processing disorder & has 504 plan in school) but I suspect he is also ODD and/or anxiety. My youngest is 6 and I suspect is ADHD/ADD, but we're mid-way through the diagnosis as our next appointment is in Nov.
I think both boys need medications (for different reasons) but my husband does not agree. I guess living in a very stressful household is the way he prefers it! Not me...
As a newbie... my first question... how can you (as a layperson/parent) determine if your child is ODD or if the defient behavior stems from anxiety?
Also, what is your favorite parenting book for difficult children?
Thanks,
