If you have never heard of the Clash I can only imagine the other hundreds of punk and new wave bands you've never heard of. You got some catching up to do!

You're doing great by having her in therapy and sticking with it. It is hard to be consistent, especially with a house full of young children. 8 years old seems very young to be diagnosed as bipolar or ODD.

Our most beneficial resources have been parental support groups, so maybe try to find a group like that in your area. Stay strong!
