DD3.8 has been going through the 'terrible twos' or being a 'threenager' since since was about 20 months.
Or has she? Today her CM raised the possibility she has ODD because (her words) "I've never seen anything like it" (CM for 15+ years) She tantrums several times a day, whinging and whining and shouting. This week she has hit her preschool teacher whilst trying to make her do a time out and kicked her CM when she asked her to get off the sofa. She's regularly defiant and goes into rages for a long time without calming down.
I'm not keen to go down the diagnosis route because a) our CAMHs has an extremely long waiting list b) really even with a diagnosis the 'treatment' will be the same which is a Triple P course which I'm already trying to get us on.
Preschool have asked for a meeting with me so I imagine they're going to say something similar. It has been a truly awful week but today she was much better.
Has anyone been in a similar situation or got any advice?
