ODD Children and Teens

Video Details: Stopping bad behavior in children and teens. Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a psychiatric behavior disorder characterized by aggressiveness and a tendency to purposefully bother and irritate others. These behaviors cause significant difficulties with family and friends and at school or work. Children and adolescents with ODD plus ADHD or just ODD alone are very difficult to be with. The destructiveness and disagreeableness are purposeful. They like to see you get mad. Every request can end up as a power struggle. The child typically has little insight and ability to admit to the difficulties. Rather, he tends to blame his troubles on others and on external circumstances. He is always questioning the rules and challenging those he perceives to be unreasonable.
