Parenting Children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Take the positive parenting approach to help your child overcome defiance through this 9-step parenting plan

Does you child argue with adults, including you? 

Are they easily angered?

Do they oppose every rule and blame others for their mistakes?

Parenting can often feel like an uphill battle, especially as the child grows older.

But sometimes, your child's behavior is not always childlike. Sometimes, their uncalled-for aggression and defiance can mean something else.

According to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, it is estimated that nearly 2 to 16% of school-going children and teens have ODD.

Usually, in young children, ODD can manifest with depression, anxiety, and even ADHD, and this overlap can make it harder for you to figure out what's going on.

Children with ODD can also show signs of low self-esteem and are usually angry, annoyed, and moody.

Parenting such a child can prove to be stressful and overwhelming. In such a case, how can you make sure your child not only adopts good behavior but also doesn't defy what they're being told?

How can you discipline them without having to resort to anger or getting involved in a power struggle that only leads to resentment?

While it might seem too good to be true, the answer to your worries starts with you.

As a parent, you can model good behavior and social skills in your child using positive reinforcement.

All you have to do is follow these 9 steps to get started.
