[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 356027, member: 1991"] You will often get ODd-type behaviours with any one of a number of conditions, from Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) to ADHD to bipolar to just plain annoying kid. I personally hate the term "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" because it implies that the child is choosing to be obnoxious, deliberately to annoy. In fact I believe these kids want to be good, but they get into bad habits of always feeling like everyone is pushing them tis ay and that, when they have their own objective in mind and WILL not be deflected; and so they dig their heels in to do what they want and are in the habit of saying, "NO!" immediately you ask them to do something. They need to be led ad encouraged, not pushed (no matter how much you think pushing is your right as a parent). The more you push, the worse you drive the kid into ODD. The more you can back off and learn to use the child's own stubbornness as good raw material, the more success you will have. That's why we recommend "Explosive Child" so much - it gives you a lot of ideas on how to do this. Marg [/QUOTE]
