Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) Support Group
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) an ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile, and defiant behavior toward authority figures that goes beyond the bounds of normal childhood behavior. When a child cannot seem to control his anger or frustration, even over what seems to be trivial or simple to others, the child will often react in violent or negative ways to his own...
Would I put up with all his crap...ABSOLUTELY NO!!! I have very few patients for putting up with it now let alone if he was fine.
I know that I'm a better teacher because of it. I know that when I come across a child with some of my son's symptoms, I don't allow the behaviors, but I also don't allow the child to get under my skin as much.
the biggest thing for me was to really accept that my behavior fed my son's. The more confrontational and angry I got, the more rude and defiant he got.
Zen is the way to go. (when we can)...
Have a great day
They need the structure. I believe.
