I do not believe this person has ever dealt with a truly ODD child. He gives examples that are not realistic. If you give your ODD child praise you will not hear thanks thats all I needed to hear. The truly ODD child will take any limits or suggestions you give and try and take it one step further. There are some very good suggestions, no yelling ODD children shut down when the parent yells. But to say I do not approve of this or that just tells the ODD child to see to what extent you don’t approve. Remember they think they are the adult you are, they must be reminded that they are not they have not gone through the life experiences you have and have learned by, they also think anything you learned from is dumb they could have done it right or better. Stay away from this book if your child is truly ODD I suggest “The Defiant Child: by Dr douglas A Riley

I sent this book to my sister. She says that in some ways it has been helpful, but her own situation with her defiant child is unique, as each is, and not all the advice has been helpful or workable.

I don’t get it. Where is the concrete advice? Seems like he is saying to give them lots of love and try to understand them..OK.. so, What do I do when my 14 year old disrupts our family every night by being obnoxious at the dinner table and I ask her to stop 5 times…she does not learn from her mistakes and does not listen to anything we ask.. I am then told to not use consequences.. OK. What do I do? We are all enjoying a nice dinner and she is being loud and annoying. We are supposed to ask her what is going on with her and validate her? Being ADD is not an excuse for bad behavior. She lost her computer for the night..maybe that will get through.

While the author is a bit condescending towards parents, the book is helpful for developing tools for reducing defiance in children. Try it…..it seems to work.

This book completely changed how I relate to my grandchildren. The youngest WAS very difficult and argumentative. We are now communicating with love and respect!! I never would have believed this! This book works wonders!
