[quote=Anonymous]Three is too young for an ODD diagnosis.  I think others have given some thoughtful advice about what could be going on, and books and such to look at.  But I'm not sure I'd go to a development ped right now, unless you're having issues at home.  Three is pretty young to diagnose many of the possible causes for his behavior, and too young to implement many of the behavioral plans often recommended.  Most likely, your child just needs time to grow whatever area is delayed (again, assuming his behavior is okay in other settings and you're not struggling with your parenting).  It may well be that he matures out of any differences in a few years.  Or it may be that he doesn't and you'll have to go down the route of seeing a developmental ped and looking at things more closely.

What I would absolutely do is have a meeting with the preschool director.  It doesn't sound like the teacher is equipped to handle matters.  I have an elementary aged kid with behavioral/developmental issues, but he was fine in preschool because the teachers there understood that kids differ, and they were able to work with his resistance and other issues by redirecting him, letting him have his space, etc.[/quote]
