[quote=Anonymous]Our DD has ODD as well. Symptoms are the same as you are seeing, except our DD really favors DH; she took YEARS to explode at him but did it to me on a daily basis since about age 4. Very taxing, so my sympathies are with you. We have had some luck with Dara Goldberg, a therapist in Bethesda. Our psych is Dr. Shari Thomas, also in Bethesda, but you sound like you have a psych. Have you considered a sensory component? Dr Thomas figured out that our child is sensory seeking, which explained a lot. We spend a ton of time at the park on swings, running and then at home letting her play basketball or jump on a trampoline. A therapist can help you with a behavior plan. We used a chart with rewards, but she was 4 at the time. We are VERY clear about expectations, very consistent in our parenting. This is a long road. Be clear about what you expect, but read up on extinction bursts because the behavior will get worse before it improves![/quote]
