See www.aacap.org & www.addadhdadvances.com (ODD)& www.mentalhealth.com & www.kidshealth.com I'd give him 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements daily, replacing 2 of them with cod liver oil supplements in the winter months, (or, as probably a better alternative to the 2 cod liver oil supplements: 1 teaspoonful of cod liver oil, with a little butter, to ensure its use; I take mine on sourdough rye bread, or toast, covered with fish paste, and pepper, to mask the strong taste). Those people who receive adequate exposure to sunlight, daily, won't need the vitamin D from cod liver oil, but many people, particularly those in latitudes far from the equator, find this difficult, to achieve. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid (omega 3) ----360 mg.DHA (docosahexaenoic acid (omega 3)-----240 mg
take one of those a day with a tall glass of water
done. (make sure the epa is higher then the dha) important for adults... kids need the opposite levels more dha than epa.
An alternative is to add "krill oil" (www.mercola.com SEARCHBAR) to his strongly flavored meals: chilli, curries, spicy/herby dishes, to mask any taste, if he refuses supplements. Consult a p(a)ediatrician, or developmental psychologist. Provide a structured lifestyle, with timetables, rewards, and consistent discipline, as well as the attention and affection necessary for all children. I used the WebFerret search engine: ODD, getting multiple hits.

ODD is a crock. It's called having an anger problem and not getting the attention he needs. He's obviously stressed over something and needs help coping. If you want respect from him, first show respect.

HOW old is ur son.
i mean 3 yr olds can grow out odds but i dont think they choke ppl...
if ur son is 16 like me, it is vey VERYYY unlikely. but it could happen. go counseling. respecting his space is not gonna do anything. trust me. being the spoiled 16yr that i am, i know.

I know children who wind up in group homes because of ODD. Counseling doesn't help them. I don't know what happens to them after they turn eighteen. Don't give up. But do get help.

It's a little difficult to respond without the age of your son. However, what is disturbing to me is the degree of anger your son is capable of showing. It isn't unusual for kids to display temper tantrums, but throwing things, breaking things, intentionally and choking people is above and beyond typical kid behavior, maybe even beyond ODD. There has got to be a reason he is this angry and if you don't get a grip on it now, at whatever age he is...believe me, it is only going to get worse, even to the point you may be dealing with the law and arrests in his teen years. As hard as it might be (especially if you are a single mom), you will absolutely have to start strictly disciplining him, you can't let him get away with these behaviors or he will only progress to worse. You need to find out why he has such an anger management issue and shows such a hatred for people in his actions. I think you should really consult your pediatrician about his behaviors. If you don't get any results from your pediatrician, get a new one, or consult a child psychologist.
