Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) Support Group

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) an ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile, and defiant behavior toward authority figures that goes beyond the bounds of normal childhood behavior. When a child cannot seem to control his anger or frustration, even over what seems to be trivial or simple to others, the child will often react in violent or negative ways to his own...

My daughter has a dr. app this afternoon, I ask the teachers to put together a report on how she is doing in school, all ofthe teachers except one said the same thing about her struggling with social issues but they also said postive things about her, the one teacher really slammed her social issues and her, I know my daughter brings on some of her own problems, but it is not all her, the kids know they make comments to her and get her upset, they do this on purpose, then laugh at her when she get;s upset, because they know she is going to get into trouble, I am not saying my daughter does not need consequences, but I think what realy botherred me was the fact that this teacher did not have anyhting to say nice, it is just hard to read anything on your child when it is not good, but I am really sad because I am tryingto get my daughter and I feel like I am losingthe battle,

I'm sorry you have to deal with this. I remember the letter my daughters teacher wrote, and she adored my daugther! It was still hard reading the negative things. Is there any way you can switch schools? Give her a fresh start. What about homeschooling her? If your school has a charter school, she can still participate in sports with the other kids. Take a long bath and try to relax. ((((HUGS))))

I talked the principal about the report, he said he noticed the same thing and talked the teacher. he said that she was just trting to get as much information as she could to let hte docter know what was going on, but her way of putting it was not the best, and I ahve to say out of all the teachers she has been the most informative, and concerned, it was just really hard to read that,. the school is really a good school and they are very strict on the bully issue, they keep a pretty good eye onthe kids and difuse any thing comingup that does not look good, my daughter really likes he school. and no there is no other school,. and homeschooling has been brought up, but she is very admant that is not going to happen, she is enough of a challenge so school is best for her, she is good sports and is invoved that way, but we live in a very small town the kids all go the same school even though they are not in the same area, preschool through 12th,. and the school has been so supportive, like I said I just had a really tough time reading that. on a good note, we have in her someplace and they will be calling next week with App. times, they said because of her age and the dx. that they were looking at plus thefact that she has been dealing with this for so long and things are getting worse she is priority, I am so happy, hopefully we will be getting the proper help.

Yes, I understand. I'm glad you called the principal and cleared that up. The last two years my lil one with odd was in public school, she had the same teacher both years. The teacher had decided to teach the upper grade, and knowing my daughter doesn't do well with change she kept her. She really was a great teacher. Strict and loving. It still tore me up that my lil one would come home and be upset that nobody would play with her, or saying that nobody liked her.

That you got her into a place is awesome! I really hope this can be a turning point to a more positive future. (((HUGS)))

Deff. keep her in school. Home schooling keeps her away from kids qand this could back fire later on in life.
It is hard to get negative information about your child. I have been there also.

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
