[QUOTE="SaraT, post: 119502, member: 2270"] Remembering back to difficult child's 1st grde year it was a nightmare. School just didn't get it. You are a saint, or at least should be in my humble opinion. I am not sure this will help in school, but a good book that helped most of us parents is The Explosive Child, By Ross Green. If I remember right it did have school suggestions in it. What worked for my difficult child was to have a "safe" place when she couldn't deal with things. This ended up being a secluded corner in the office where she was alone, but the adults could still see her. We placed a teddy bear there(any favorite stuffed animal will work) and let her use that bear for hugs, squeezing, whatever she needed to calm herself. Going to her safe place could be initiated by her or the teacher/adult. If you feel it is right, you could also suggest to the parents that ODD rearly runs alone, and that it might be a good idea to get the child a full evaluation to see if something else is going on. My difficult child was diagnosis'd ODD, but later found out she is actually ADHD, mood disorder and Aspergers. Just a thought. Way To Go for trying to help this little one. [/QUOTE]
