Publisher's Synopsis
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) makes it challenging, unpleasant, and frequently overwhelming to parent a child. The original child psychology book, Overcoming Oppositional Defiant Disorder, paves the way for your success by emphasizing that caring for your child begins with caring for yourself.
Dr. Gina Atencio-Maclean presents tried-and-true techniques for altering your child's defiant behaviors while equipping you with the skills you need to remain composed and focused-even during your child's most extreme outbursts. Improve your parenting abilities by developing coping mechanisms for triggers, engaging in mindful communication, establishing fair boundaries, and more.
ODD frequently co-occurs with sadness, anxiety, and even ADHD in young children, which can make it challenging to diagnose the problem.
In addition to being typically angry, irritated, and irritable, children with ODD can also have symptoms of low self-esteem.
Such a youngster can make parenting challenging and burdensome. How can you ensure your child in such a situation not only adopts appropriate behavior but also doesn't disobey what is being stated to them?
How do you correct them without becoming enraged or engaging in a struggle for dominance that only breeds resentment?
The solution to your problems begins with you, despite the fact that it might seem too wonderful to be true.
