<span style='font-family: Georgia'> <span style='font-size: 14pt'> <span style="color: #6600CC"> well my first thought was why in the he*ll do they have a sandbox on an elementary school playground. yuck....they are filthy & do nothing but cause trouble.
when linda says playground buddy she means some other child....not known for getting in trouble....who can buddy up with-difficult child & hopefully help her not be so impulsive....and it would provide a witness to these goings~on.
ODD s rarely a stand alone diagnosis. has your daughter been evaluated for ADHD &/or other dxs. any family history of disorders? i would strongly recommend that you have her evaluated ~~~ independently as well as by the school. with-o such evaluations you cannot request a behavior plan nor any other assitance.
how is difficult child's behavior in other venues....home/in the neighborhood/daycare?? is the behavior just in school?
