Hello everyone! I am new and very thankful I found this board to help me cope at a time I feel like my whole world is crumbling in my home. I have a 7yr old daughter who although has not yet been diagnosed (going to psch. on 23rd) we have very strong feelings she is ODD. The odd behavior was...

Hello! I am new to the forum. I stumbled onto the site while doing a google search while I'm at home waiting for my SO to get home with our difficult child (7, adhd, odd,cd, possible cobd). Over the last couple of months we had been seeing an escalation in difficult child's oppositional and aggressive tendencies which...

I am in Canada and a year ago after many many tests they said one of my 3 daughters has ODD and my son has ODD severe and Conduct disorder moderate. For the last year I have been going on sprees trying to find out what i do now, specifically tips on parenting children with CD so i can do the...

Hello: I am new to the group and just wanted to indroduce myself. After reading many of your posts it looks like I'll feel right at home here. I belong to an epilpesy group as well but my son's seizures do not cause me the daily problems that his behavior does so, I am glad to have found this...

I got difficult child 2 in to see the psychiatrist Wednesday afternoon to discuss his suspension because of the Swiss Army knife, the supposed threat he made, etc. So here's his take on it: He believes (as do I) that this was not a premeditated act. That difficult child had no clue about the potential for how his comments...

I took your posts and started a new one with a new title so it would not get lost in the shuffle: _____________________________________________________________________ OK, all you experts . . . calling on you for help. I'm new here. We have a 7 year old, adopted son, beautiful child, does...

I know so many of you have kids that are fine at school, but not so at home. Anyone have the opposite? With difficult child it seems as if school is a torture. He is fine when he is outside of school at functions such as baseball, or even school functions like the socials (dances). Not much problem at...

I'm truly exhausted today & can't believe it took this long to figure out a support group would be SO wonderful! I don't even know where to begin. I don't exactly recall where it started. Since every day begins with a battle, it's hard to pinpoint when the battle became a full-blown war. I...

So, after five months of really settling into middle school, difficult child had his first referral today :nonono:. I got a call from his 1:1 this afternoon where he and difficult child were sitting in the office waiting for the principal. Seems difficult child was at the printer in class waiting for his paper. Another boy, one he...

HI. I am new to this board. I have an almost 3 year old son. He has been in ABA therapy since he was a year. They have helped on many levels like they taght him how to stand, walk, eat, and many other things. Sammy has many developmental delays including speech. These are all being...

This was in today's paper. Very interesting and well rounded, especially for an adoption article. I especially like the emphasis on how our police and SS agencies are clueless when it comes to dealing with-these situations. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/natio...ack=1&cset=true Ranch raises...

Hello! I'm new here and was directed to this forum from another one that I am on. I'm also new to dealing with conduct disorders. It's not that the disorder itself is new in my family, just that up until now we had just assumed his symptoms were a normal expression of stress. I'm jumping ahead...

When last we left difficult child #2, back in January of this year, he was sitting in YDC charged with felony obstruction charges for biting the officer(s) that came to help calm him for transport to the ER. Well...so much has happened since then. No charges, no jail time, and no more help than what we...

Hi, I am new to this site so if I do this wrong, bear with me. My daughter was diagnosed with ODD when she was six. She is now 15 and we are really struggling. She is about to go to a youth Psychiatric program, she lives there during the week and comes home for the weekends. (for one month) This...

I have Tigger's Annual Review meeting tomorrow. Tigger is once again home from school. I am so torn about whether to go with their suggestion of keeping him at school or my gut instinct and homeschool him. He has refused school completely about 20 days so far this year. In the first part of the...

I just have to say I love this site! Found it a few weeks back and am so relieved I'm not alone! My 3 year old DS is very oppositional and aggressive...we had thought that maybe he was simply a 'spirited' child until the last 6 months, where he's had some really miserable episodes of...

I just cannot do this anymore. I am so tired. husband is no help, tries to justify difficult child's actions. I get the calls from school, I difficult child's calls. difficult child has no friends, trouble doing work in school. Mostly refuses to do it. Calls teachers names, gets kicked out recently on a daily basis. He is in S.E...

Well I'm a newbie to this site, but definately not a stranger to the demanding world of raising a CD child. I was reading some of the forums on this site and I'm glad I did. For three years I have felt like I was all alone in my disfunctional world. I have been with my stepson since he was 2 1/2...
