New to ODD

Well I read a lot of these post and I know my son has ODD. He has adhd as well and learning disabilities. I and my husband are at our wit ends. We are taking him to a psychologist in april. our doc said she thinks he has odd. I believe he does too.

He is very argumentive. He loves to pick on people and make them mad. espeicially his step dad. He takes stuff out of our room without permission and goes through things. It just seems its getting worse.

I have started taking stuff away that he likes: xbox computer. ect. but it ends up in a screaming match and him trying to prove everyone wrong. is there anything I can do to help him in school with the teacher too. He always lately seems he is in trouble there too or on the school bus. any help please would be appreciated. thanks TIna

ODD and ADHD

Hi Tina:

I can understand your frustration and I'm relieved to hear that you are seeing a psychologist for an ODD diagnosis. In the meantime, I would recommend reading ADDitude's very exhaustive article about parenting an ODD child... ADHD and ODD: Parenting Your Defiant Child

Here's some information about other learning disabilities as well, plus a few articles that might help with classroom behavior...

School Behavior Tips: Impulse Control for ADHD Children

Stop Interrupting! Better ADHD School Behavior

The Daily Report Card: Tracking School Progress for Children with ADHD or Learning Disabilities

Accommodations For ADHD Students: A Parent's Guide

I hope that helps!
