[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 604773, member: 1550"] You hear it mostly from the less educated mental health professionals...talk therapists and social workers. In all my years of taking my son around and trying to get him correctly diagnosed, the only ones I heard ODD from were those who were not neuropsychs or psychiatrists. Actually, ODD never was even uttered by those two professionals. These behavioral disorders, unless we gave our kids knowingly a very chaotic early young life or drank and did drugs while pregnant, are NOT THE PARENT'S FAULTS. The mental health profession by and large is run by theory and old ideas die first at the top (Psychiatrists) and trickle down. Don't let ANYONE tell you it's your parenting. If anyone tells you that, FIRE him/her and find somebody who has a better understanding of mental health and neurological issues. Just like all fields, there are the good, the bad, and the clueless. And NEVER listen to a teacher or Auntie Sally who raised three perfect kids because she spanked them! Teachers are educators, not medical diagnosticians and Aunt Sally got lucky that her kids listened to her...had nothing to do about the spanking behind the woodshed. [/QUOTE]
