[QUOTE="SRL, post: 34307, member: 701"] Welcome Lissie, I'm glad you found us. We were all pretty desperate when we arrived here so we've been in your shoes. The ODD/ADHD combination is a very common first diagnosis for young children, often given by a child psychologist or child psychiatrist after a not very thorough evaluation. Often when a more thorough evaluation is done by a pediatric neuropsychologist or developmental pediatrician some other issues surface. I'm not saying that is your situation but you should keep open to that possibility as you look for answers to help your child. What does the family mental health history look like? Has your child had anything ususual in her developmental history-speech delays, cognitive delays or advanced cognitive skills, sleep difficulties, quirky behaviors, extremely sensitive to foods/sounds/lights/clothing textures, etc? What did difficult look like when she was young? If you haven't read the book "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene then you will want to pick up a copy. There's a thread at the top of this board that will get you started in adapting it to younger children. [/QUOTE]
