[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 295282, member: 1169"] Welcome, Thanks for all the info in the post. I'll try not to overwhelm you but: *ODD maybe describe your daughter but it isn't a "real" diagnosis as it do3esn't explain WHY she is acting that way (my personal opinion is that it was included in the DSM for insurance coding) *She needs to stop hitting you. There is NO WAY my daughter would have been allowed to hit me for 2 hours. (My daughter is extremely violent and is currently in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and she attacked me numerous times but there is no way I would have let her hit me for two hours.) Pin her hands down, walk away, etc. whatever works best in the situation. *Pediatricians don't usually treat mental illness. A child psychiatric or a developmental pediatrician are your best bets. *I'd recommend "What Your Explosive Child is Trying to Tell You" by Douglas Riley and "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. If she is having problems at school, I would also recommend "Lost At School" - also by Greene. These are the "bibles" for defiant children. *Something that I didn't try until recently is the gluten-free, casein-free All-Natural diet. The theory is that children with an intolerance to gluten, caesin and all the chemicals in our foods today will react with behavioral and neurological symptoms that can be improved by eliminating these from their diets. We have seen HUGE changes in our sons since starting this at the beginning of summer. Others will come along with their advice. From all of us, take what you need and leave the rest. We all have our own list of things that worked and things that didn't and hopefully you can find a suggestion that helps your family. What you will definitely find here is a very supportive group of parents with similar children. Welcome, [/QUOTE]
