Here's something I ran across and felt the need to share it with you all. It's called oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). I read this article on childhood anger and it surprised me that what I've been calling Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in my grandson is actually this ODD. He has 95% of the symptoms. What I want you all to get from this post is a sense of awareness. It's good to do research on things that people and doctors alike try and convince you on. But reading for yourself will help open up your awareness because lately everyone has been labeling our children Autism, ADHD, Bipolar, or something other than what they are. I urge all parents and guardians to do research for yourself on many of these behaviors and on the medications used to subside them. I feel you will do your child and yourself a great service. Now that I know exactly what's the problem with my grandson he is getting better because I now know what not to do also. These are just my thoughts what are yours. Please no bashing, this is to the families that need answers and not just any answers.
