Oppositional Defiant Disorder

[Guest guest]

Hi All

I've been away for a week and I was going through all the postings I

missed through out the week and I think I saw some one talking about

ODD, my 9 year old son was diagnosed ODD about 4.5 years ago, it was

one of the best days ever. It was almost as good as the day I was

told about EDS, great to finally have a reason for all the temper

tantrums. I've never really heard of any other parents who have

dealt with it. Things have gotten much better now that we have

learned to choose our battles and he had gotten much better at

expressing himself verbally as he has gotten older. He also has EDS

and ADD, he is definitely a hand full and would definitely have been

my only one if he had been first instead of second. If any one is in

need of info on ODD the best book we found which our pediatrician

told us about is called the The Explosive Child.
