My son was diagnosed when he was 5 as being ADHD/ODD...He does take Concerta which helps greatly with the ADHD, but there is nothing helping with the ODD. Since he started first grade, 5 weeks ago, he has been very defiant...testing his teacher and his principal, basically everyone he comes into contact with, just to see how far he can push them. I need some help with his behavior - has anyone else out there experienced this type of behavior with their own children, if so, do you have any suggestions on how to help him. Trust me, I've spanked, put him in time out, taken away all his toys...basically he gets to come home, do his homework, take a bath and go to sleep. I am at my wits end....Please note, that I have a daughter that will be 10 in November, they were both raised exactly the same...she is in the gifted and talented program at school and I have not a peep of trouble out of her.....Why are these children so completely opposite.....HELP !
