Brief Answer:
Yes, you need to meet
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking again.
Oppositional defiant disorder is rarely diagnosed as kids are normally known to be defiant.
If it is indeed ODD, he will require counseling along with family modification and training for you. Additionally, sometimes coexisting ADHD could be there sometimes and will require medication.
Do meet another pediatrician and work along with him and a child psychiatrist. A group support is necessary.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
