Summary

Do you have a child with oppositional defiant disorder and have no idea how to deal with him or her? Do your child’s defiance and aggression exhaust you and make you angry or worried? If so, this is the audiobook for you.

This book presents a new framework for understanding children’s defiant behavior. The framework is based on the principle that oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is largely learned. It is not the result of bad parenting or bad genes, but because of bad experiences with parents. By learning to communicate better with your child and by avoiding power struggles, you can change the way your child reacts to you.

All parents want their children to be happy, well-behaved, and to love them unconditionally. Yet there are some children who seem determined not to give their parents this satisfaction. This audiobook contains a proven program for overcoming a child's negative behavior and teaching him or her the skills he needs for cooperative living. These lessons are based on behavioral principles that have been shown to be successful in many difficult child situations.

This is a wonderful audiobook that has tons to information in about ODD. If you are having trouble with a child with ODD this audiobook is for you. The author covers from young child to teen discussing many different scenarios and gives tons of ideas on how to cope with a child with ODD. The part that I like the most is how the author emphasized you are the parent do not let someone over parent you it is in the section about toxic parents.

An Enlightening and impactful Guide

This audiobook is a godsend as a parent dealing with a child who exhibits Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). This insightful audiobook dismantles the daunting task of managing ODD, transforming it into an understandable and manageable journey.

What strikes me most about this audiobook is its empathetic tone, recognizing the fatigue and concerns parents often face. Instead of pointing fingers, it offers a holistic and progressive perspective on ODD, suggesting that these behaviors are learned responses to their environment rather than an indictment of poor parenting or genetic predisposition.

The central premise of this guide, which argues that ODD arises from negative experiences with parents, allows for a hopeful outlook. It communicates that these behaviors can be unlearned and reshaped, offering a beacon of light for parents.

The audiobook’s approach is rooted in practical and proven strategies that promote healthier communication and avoid power struggles. This empowering approach aims not to suppress the child’s behavioral issues but to transform them. The audiobook’s ultimate goal of promoting cooperative living skills in the child is a testament to its foresightedness and depth of understanding.

Moreover, the guide’s practical application of behavioral principles enhances its credibility. It equips parents with a roadmap to navigate the challenges of ODD. The audiobook takes a well-rounded, research-based approach to transforming a child’s negative behavior, making it a precious resource for parents.

“Oppositional Defiant Disorder the Explosive Child” is necessary for parents with children displaying ODD behaviors. It offers solace, understanding, and pragmatic solutions to help reshape their child’s behavior. While it acknowledges the challenging journey parents embark upon, it also underscores the possibilities for positive change, making it an invaluable guide in the tumultuous journey of parenting.

EXCELLENT GUIDE TO EMPOWER RELATIONS WITH CHILDREN

THIS AUTHOR HAS PUT TOGETHER AN EXCELLENT INFORMATIVE BOOK FOR ANYONE TO GUIDE THEM THRU THE DIFFICULTIES OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH CHILDREN WITH CHALLENGING PERSONALITIES.

TO ADD TO THAT THEY LIVE IN STRESSED HOMES WITH MAYBE EVEN HOSTILE RELATIONSHIPS AND UNFORTUNATELY THIS ADDS TO THE CREATION OF THEIR CHALLENGING MENTALITIES.
PARENTS AND FAMILIES THESE DAYS STRUGGLE WITH HAVING ENGAGING MUTUALLY RESPECTFUL AND APPRECIATIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH CHILDREN.
THIS AUTHOR HAS CREATED AN EXCELLENT COMPREHENSIVE BOOK THAT CAN GUIDE PARENTS TO REESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING CONNECTIONS AND RESPECT AND APPRECIATION ON A MUTUAL LEVEL WITH THEIR CHILDREN.
THANK YOU TO THIS AUTHOR FOR THIS VERY INFORMATIVE AND NECESSARY BOOK FOR TODAYS PARENTS AND FAMILIES TO BUILD UP AND HAVE WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR CHILDREN.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK...!
