aggressive child

It was horrible. I should have known. Our county just doesn't have people in it who handle things like they do in other places. They had someone there from DSS, SD, 3 people from the funding agency, 2 from mental health, someone from Department of Juvenile Justice plus the PO. It started with them referring to the MDT...

Hi Everyone, I've just spent the past few hours (yes hours) reading the threads here. I just wanted (or needed!) to stop for a second and introduce myself. I have two wonderful daughters; my difficult child is now 5 1/2 and her adoring easy child little sister is 3 1/2. difficult child's behavior problems surfaced...

Hello everyone, I am new here to this place. I have never been apart of a support group but this place seems like a great place to share stories and offer advice. I don't know exactly where to begin so I'll start with introducing myself as MyHrt (MyHrt) stands for MyHeart which is my son because...

You may think I'm crazy for even considering this, but I think a 9-1/2-month old baby I watch may have ODD. I have been around and taken care of a LOT of babies in my 35 years (being an aunt to 24 kids is just the tip of that iceberg), and have a 10-month old of my own. I stay home with my...

I'll start with the history to help. Since 2002 my middle one has been in treatment. Initial diagnosis was simply ADHD inattentive with ODD and just didn't do well with school. She was born with some physical stuff that was addressed early in life that didn't really disrupt her life too much but...

good morning. I'm glad I found this site because we are at the end of our ropes right now. I need help and don't know where to go. I'm hoping that someone might recognize this situation and have any advice. I am a step-parent to a 13 y/o (difficult child 1). His father's life revolves around having to feed...

Hello all, I am also new here and just stumbled upon this site out of shear desperation for advice, insight, or maybe to feel as if I am not alone. I am married to a wonderful man and together we have 7 children, the typical his, mine and ours! As if that isn't enough, most of these kids...

Hi there, I have four children, 17, 16, 14 and a half and 4. Older two are boys, and have never had any problems at all. The youngest of 4 is also a dream. The 14 year old girl is an extreme nightmare - been diagnosed by psychologist as having conduct disorder and anti-social personality as...

I am new to this group. My 12 year old son was just diagnosed with a Conduct Disorder. We have been working with a psychologist and psychiatrist for over a year and nothing seems to be working. We have tried Trileptal. He has been suspended from school at least once a week. He is very...

My son has been difficult - aggressive, negative, purposefully bothering, since I can remember. He is a twin and his twin sister has some medical issues. I had postpartum depression pretty bad after they were born and I often feel horribly guilty about what I may have missed giving the kids in...

I live in a very small town with a very small library in the town hall. My difficult child loves to go there and play the learning games on the kids computer. Every time I go, I end up so frustrated. My difficult child is very loud,& disruptive. He yells for me when he gets stuck on the game even after explaining the...

I am really struggling with my 5 year old difficult child. He recently started seeing a child psychologist but I haven't gotten really any concrete advice on what to do with certain behaviors. I'm on the waiting list for The Explosive Child at my library, but need some advice NOW. I taught elementary...

I have a 15 year old son. He just started a special school two months ago for Emo. Disturbed kids. He had been diagnosis with bipolar when he was 8 years old because he was having severe rage episodes. Around the time he was 5 years old I had a very serious psychiatric breakdown. I was really sick for...

OK, my hubby is a Sparks leader with AWANA. I have nothing to do with AWANA, due to personal preference. Our oldest is in Sparks (hubby's group) and our youngest (daughter) is in Cubbies. Well, tonight they had to get hubby away from his group 3 times because daughter kept running away from her group...

Just wanted to say Hi! Have a four year old son that was diagnosis with a behavioral disorder a few weeks ago and doctor is going to send him to a psychotherapist. So I'm just starting out. From what I've read up on, I think he is ODD. He has a lot of aggression and argues with us about every little...
