[quote=Anonymous]Talk to her pediatrician asap and try to get a recommendation for resources. If it is the case that you need to adjust your parenting approach for the particular needs of your child, far better to do it now than waiting a few years. I am not saying your parenting is bad (like the other poster above) just that you may need professional guidance on how to set boundaries and de-escalate with this particular kid. We had a tough stretch when our DD was 5 and some parenting coaching really helped us. She also turned out to have ADHD and anxiety, not ODD, but I am convinced if we did not intervene and change our approach, we'd be dealing with much more defiance now.

The person we spoke with at our pediatrician's recommendation was Claire Lerner and I really like her approach. You can sign up for her newsletter and follow her on IG. She does a great job of responding to and addressing some of the gentle parenting "wisdom" on social media and helping parents set loving limits on their kids behavior. [/quote]
