Hi there,
I have a DD who is bright but has some behavioural difficulties that have been attributed to ADHD\ODD. This is impacting her ability to function effectively at school - eg she often refuses to co-operate or throws tantrums. She is only 4 but I am really worried that unless we find a way to help her deal with her behaviour she will get worse or school will write her off or she will never realise her potential. I have tried all sorts of self-help books. Part of the problem is that DH has main care of her while I am work and he really struggles with how to deal with her - as a result she winds him round her little finger. It is causing such stress in our relationship - eg if she refuses to get dressed in the morning he takes her in late or - worse - lets her stay at home for the day! It therefore falls to me to be the disciplinarian for the both of us which is ruining my relationship with her as she is beginning to hate me. I just feel we are creating a climate of negativity and another consequence of this is that she is socially unconfident. We live in West London and need to find some 'expert' help to manage her behaviour and giver her her confidence back. Can anyone recommend a good therapist - I am told cognitive behaviour therapy would be the most appropriate?
Thank you so much,
WM
