MN is quite happy to let innacurate thread titles be posted that could promote discrimination against disabled children and their famillies

Title say's it all.

Well said maryz,

and i for one would be cheering you on.

what a disgusting vile little rat

what a sick pratt

YABVU, just because you don't agree with it does not mean somebody else should and that everyone has to have the same opinions. This is a forum whereby everyone is entitled to their views to a certain degree. I am like that about obstanence defiant disorder , children being children morelike imo.

Mumsnet better delete his crap then, what an awful thing to bring up

just taking it to the extremes now

My daughter has it and a sharp talking ot and removal of certain treats she likes usually does the trick.

pigletmania - how dare you, as well, re ODD? Have a too.

i really hope noone whose children really do have it read what you just said, pigletmania.

{shock] at your ignorance.

Not talking about ADHD Fanjo

you are just proving silverfrog's point, she is talking about not being aware that danger even EXISTS, you are talking about ignoring dangers.

I repeat that children aren't aware that danger exists so they have to be taught. Even then, while older children may know about it, most of the time they aren't aware of its existence with regard to what they are doing.

Hence they repeatedly fall out of trees. Why do they keep doing it? Don't they "know" it's dangerous?

Why do they regularly crash their bikes because they are cycling too fast or attempting (for the nth time) some acrobatic feat that is nigh on impossible. Why keep attempting it? Don't they realise that is dangerous too?

Why do they persist in doing the 360 degree "loop" over the bar of the swing? It only results in pain when they fail and fall off and, on two occasions, a trip to A&E.

Why regularly jump off fair-ground rides because they've "had enough now" ? It always leads to grazes and bruises and Mummy and Daddy getting very cross.

This is what kids do!

as well

piglet..I know, you are talking about ODD and comparing it to children just needing a sharp talking to and removal of treats. again, you have NO CLUE what it's like( my DD doesn't have it but I know people go through HELL with it).

Breton - "I repeat that children aren't aware that danger exists so they have to be taught."

That's the whole point..some children CANNOT learn. I give up with you as you are unable to udnerstand, clearly.

i suggest everyone reports the troll

Not to worry.
Legal advice in progress.

If you google it Fanjo you will see that it is different, its not ADHD ust sounds like kids being kids and how my dd 3.5 is at the best of times like now its the school holidays and there is no preschool. Being defiant, rebelling against parents, teachers authority etc, tantrums, different to ADHD,ASD. Now that we are seeing SALT dds is getting a lot better. Threenagers eh

Well said Maryz. Remember that most of us agree with you and not this sick weirdo. He is not representative of most teachers or humans.
:(

MNHQ - personal plea to ban the inflammatory poster. Can you not see what it is doing to some people?
Not at all appropriate.

piglet - what you are saying about ODD is as bad as what Breton said about ADHD!

ODD is not just kids being naughty! People go through hell with it. And they can be people with other well-behaved kids.

It can be like naughtiness taken to an EXTREME , like ADHD can be like liveliness taken to an EXTREME.

The whole point is it IS abnormal behaviour hence the diagnosis.

I know you aren't trying to be offensive and you are fortunately overshadowed by Breton's offensiveness but that is a very ignorant attitude.

My DD is 3 too and can be a handful but I would never compare her to a child diagnosed with ODD.

We just had a thread about this recently.

maryz et al I was referring to articles in the news about teenagers, especially young girls, who have done precisely that!

Just Google "Teen suicide pacts"!

Then fanjo why is it not diagnosed as ADHD then.
