Child with anger problems, parent wants to know if it could be ODD.
I have a 9-year old son with ADHD and i seem to think he also has ODD. His behavior over the last couple of months has been outrageous. He gets really mad and starts throwing things against the wall. He doesn't do his homework like he should and he has been really bad in school. I don't know what to do to help him and i am a single parent, which makes matters worse
Please
help me if you can.
You
indicate that your son has ADHD, so I assume that you have a doctor that you
have worked with to determine this diagnosis.
If you feel that your son has ODD, you should contact your physician to
discuss this. Since I am not a
medical professional, I would not be able to provide you with a diagnosis or any
suggestions for medical treatment.
