My son is 7 and has been a very difficult child for about 3 years, he has recently been diagnosis'd with ODD by his dr. She has referred us to a psychiatrist but so far we havent found one that will take him as a new pt. I have always known something was wrong but the ODD diagnosis scares me to death. He can be the sweetest little boy in the world and he just seems to snap.
I don't know how to take care of him anymore, not sure if I need to be firm, ignore him or baby him when he is trying to mock me, hit me, kick me or cry or scream at the top of his lungs at video games---because the game is cheating him.
Our dr. said that some children grow out of this in about 3 years, just wondering if anyone's child has grown out of it on their own without psychiatric care.....
