conduct disorder in children

Hello everyone. I am new to this site, this is my first post. I have read a lot of similar stories on here about kids that sound like I could have wrote them myself about my son. Unfortunately I have only seen lots of new parent posts with the details of the problems but no follow ups with...

Hi, I really hope you do not mind that I am reaching out from up here but theres not much support around my "neck of the woods" lol. I have 2 beautiful smart independent sons, my youngest is 19 months and his father and i have been together for almost 4 years now who has also stepped up and...

This thread is for discussion of all the various issues that come up regarding placing a child in a residential treatment center or group home, their experience there, and transitions to and from home.

Absolute shot in the dark. This is the guy that I am switching too since I seriously dislike the ent who did my sinus surgery...I went to him the day after I got the evaluation report, and on a whim, took the report with me. He offered to see difficult child. *** So we went today. *** The appointment was at 2. We...

I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know how Little Bear is doing since my last post! I am keeping my fingers crossed, but Little Bear is doing extremely well since he started intuniv right before christmas. We went to his last appointment and talked a lot about him possibly having a diagnosis of high...

difficult child went to school yesterday. It was a good thing because I was starting to get emails from his CM at school about him missing too much work. The principal has really slowed down communication-not a good sign at this point. I can tell difficult child feels better but he seems to be pushing this illness for...

I'm at witts end. :2sad: Don't know how long I can hold it together. Six year adopted great nephew. Nothing seems to phase him as for punishment. If they commit him I don't think there would be any regrets. Have had him since one month old. Biological mother and father have mental problems.

I don't know what to do. My son is getting more and more out of control. He was in the hospital in November. He got out and was more stable, but his ODD seemed to be worse than ever. He is just escalating more and more. He left the school campus twice last week. He has done no school work since...

We started "A" on Metadate CD 10 mg Sunday and the only thing that I have noticed is that we have had times of hysterical outbursts. He had three such outbursts on Sunday--none of which were related to anger or frustration that I could tell. They were all related to more sadness or...

Ok. I need some advice. My 13 year old son with ODD was at the library today after school. He was going to walk home with friends (that was the plan) but his dad, who works next door, found out that he had gotten into trouble at school. Dad marched over to the library and told our son to...

Hi. I am going through the roof with my difficult child's situation. He's 13 and we don't know what to do or where to go next. He is currently in an alternative education (partial) program offered by an area school district where he is doing "all right" but still having bouts of depression, lying...

Received this Sunday from a producer at Huffington Post. PM me for her her email.

Hi, I'm new here and have read most of these posts. I've been trying get to start a new thread as some one below suggested, but even the help menu was not helpfull. I have already raised 3 children all adults now and in college 2 boys one girl only one else of them my bio son. I will again soon...

Heres some history: My ex husband and I separated when my youngest was not quite 1. She was always a quiet baby, never cried and was overall great compared to my 3 toddlers. When I left my ex, he took my kids, hid them and we started going through a very messy divorce, I think screwing up my...

His depression scares me to be quite frank. I am a single mom and I feel like my hands are tied when it comes to disciplining because I worry about what he will do. He doesn't make threats to harm himself but he says he has thought about it more in the last few months. He is 16 and recently...

I was having a great day with three of my seven children then all hell broke loose when I grounded my twelve year old son because he was getting frustrated at a video game which translated into him being really verbally abusive toward his younger sister. I tried to ignore it and not engage him...

So by biting himself ,hitting himself ,slamming the door on his arm, etc is this part of "bipolar" or what disorder?? Oh add what a great morning - started great hes laughing then dad mentioned 7-eleven to bribe him to get him and I had him under control I thought before that. Then son started...

I am broken! Done! I am going to look around to hire someone to come in and wake my son up for school, get him ready, deal with any tantrums ( like this morning) Pick him up and help him with homework. Because today was the final straw. I told him he goes to daycare this summer he is not staying...

I came to this site looking for information on conduct disorders. I’ve been reading posts off and on for months, but not had the energy to explain my situation. I’ve been in therapy for the past couple years because I’ve learned that adopting children (especially through the foster system) can...

My difficult child is a wonderfully softhearted child who seems to cycle about every 6 weeks. Normally his mean, behavior last for about two weeks then we are OK for a while. He can get violent when confronted but with age the violence has lessened. When he gets in his moods if I say white its black, if I...
