[quote=Anonymous]If it's only at home, it is either a mild form of ODD or may not be ODD at all. It could also be ADHD, anxiety, ASD or other mood disorders. For instance, if she has anxiety or ADHD, it's possible the highly scheduled and rules-based environment at school makes it easier for her to behave because she always knows what is happening next and what behavior is expected of her. In that case the solution might be to create more structure at home and improve communication to reduce anxiety or ADHD symptoms at home. Just as a for instance. I would talk to a developmental pediatrician. I also would go in with an open mind and not assume it's ODD. There are lots of reasons she might be difficult right now, including sub-diagnostic issues like just being on the sensitive side and needing a different parenting approach.[/quote]
