From everything I have read about ADHD and ODD defiance and agression are common in these kids. Behavior therapy, exercise, and mood stabilizing drugs (ability)help with the anger and defiance. The Xbox calms my son down. I use it as a reward for doing his on task demands like homework, house chores or following my instructions and being respectful. We have good days and bad days this is very normal. My son has Tourettes and Anxiety disorder as well as ADHD /ODD. You are not alone.

This site will give you lots of support and validation. Read it often. I bought a book that ha helped me so much to understand what my so. Is going through. It is called Taking charge of ADHD by Russel A Barkley PHD

the complete authoritative comprehensive guide for parents

It really has been a blessing to read about this disorder! Our kids truely are the victims they’ve are struggling more than we can comprehend.

My prayers are for you!
