[QUOTE="Josie, post: 244588, member: 1792"] I'm another one who thinks that ODD is usually caused by an underlying problem and the ODD is the symptom. My daughter's ODD is caused by food allergies to gluten and dairy. Although Terry also mentions food allergies, we are a minority here, so there are many other possibilities. In the food allergy world, however, behaviour problems are a common symptom, so it might be worth checking out. If my daughter sticks to her diet, there are no problems with her, period. I don't need special techniques to parent her. If she cheats on her diet, she is back into her old ODD ways and I have to wait for it to blow over to manage the situation. We try not to provoke her (by asking her to help with the dishes, for example) when we can tell and then make her face natural consequences when she is back to being herself (reducing allowance for lack of chores). It works for us because most of the time, she is ok. There is a book, "The Explosive Child" that many people here recommend. It will give you a new perspective about dealing with a child like this.
