[QUOTE="weatheringthestorm, post: 113725, member: 4424"] My difficult child is almost 16 and is BiPolar (BP) and ODD. He's only recently been diagnosis but I've always known something was up with him. When he was younger we had to have a very strict and consistant schedule. He literally had a 10 min window in which he had to be put to bed. Any earlier or later he would have major meltdowns. Keeping such a schedule was hard on me. Sometime's I want to just go with the flow. He couldn't. We still have to stick to a pretty consistent schedule, but it has more leeway now. Now that he's older and diagnosis I find the medications help more than anything. You should think about the evaluation. Also, you may want to read The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. I ordered it through this site, but you might find it at the library. I think the schedule is key. Good luck to you and welcome. I'm new too and this site has really helped me. [/QUOTE]
