UPDATE: 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. Her father is questioning her diagnoses.

Previous post: https://ift.tt/2PDitDf daughter had her intake appointment with a psychologist that works with children and adults. After answering many questions and going through symptoms, she diagnosed my daughter with ADHD and ODD. She only had one criteria that she didn't meet for ODD. OneHer father has been skeptical ever since her pediatrician suspected ADHD. He was extremely unhappy that he was going to go forward with medication before advising she also be evaluated at Children's Hospital Behavioral Clinic to get an accurate diagnosis.I am getting her into therapy in the hopes that she can learn coping mechanisms and feel more in control of her emotions.When I told him about her diagnoses, he immediately questioned my psychologists credentials and asked if our daughter was "hitting other kids her age and she always behaves for us when we have her!" I explained to him that my psychologist and multiple online sources state that it is normal for symptoms to only present at home and is not an indication of my parenting skills. He said nothing in reply.We're planning to meet this week to discuss it in detail, but I still worry that he's going to dismiss anything that I present to him. I even have videos of her behavior to show him. I worry that he thinks that these behaviors are a result of bad parenting from my husband and i. We're not perfect, but we're doing our best. She goes to Children's later this month and I honestly expect them to come to the same conclusion.Any tips on how to handle this? I plan on going with whatever treatment is advised, even if it means medication. I just want to help her. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/39f7SWS
