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.

Great listen and lots of information

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. There is a lot to this audiobook and I enjoyed listening to it as well.

An must-listen for parents!

"Oppositional Defiant Disorder the Explosive Child" is an absolute lifesaver for parents dealing with children who exhibit oppositional, defiant, or violent behavior. This audiobook offers a modern and insightful guide to help parents navigate the challenges of raising a child with ODD.

It's incredibly reassuring to know that the author, Joseph Mendoza, presents a new framework that emphasizes that ODD is not the result of bad parenting or genetics but rather stems from challenging experiences with parents. This shift in perspective alone can provide immense relief to parents who may have blamed themselves for their child's behavior.

Mendoza offers practical strategies and proven programs that empower parents to effectively address their child's negative behavior. The lessons are grounded in behavioral principles that have demonstrated success in dealing with difficult child situations.

Insightful book on parenting

This book offers a compassionate and insightful approach to understanding and managing what is called Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) in children. Dr. Ross Greene presents a very informative perspective on addressing challenging behavior by emphasizing collaboration and problem-solving rather than punishment. The book provides practical strategies and real-life examples, making it an excellent resource for parents, educators, and mental health professionals seeking alternative methods for dealing with explosive behavior in children with ODD."

Great Listen, informative!

The author does a great job laying out strategies to avoid power struggles that could further escalate the child's behavior. The research-backed narrative breaks down the approach to teaching the child how to settle their emotions and feel in control. The authors application of the latest behavior analytic and emotional regulation techniques provides an up-to-date and practical approach. Overall, this is a very helpful and comprehensive guide for parents of children with ODD and other difficult behaviors. Highly recommended!

Good information

As a mom of a child with ODD, I found a lot of value in this book. The author does a good job of explaining what ODD is and dives into various ways that we can help our child be less defiant. Understanding that parenting a child with ODD Is very different than parenting a child without is something that is critical to understand. I like that the author lays out a roadmap to help parents work on overcoming negative behavior and to provide them with skills to be able to live cooperatively

I have started to implement some of the methods in the book and I can see that my child is starting to react differently (in a positive way) so that has given me the hope to keep following that roadmap to success..

Transforming Defiance into Understanding

What makes this audiobook particularly valuable is its holistic approach. It doesn't just offer a band-aid solution but delves into the root causes of defiance and aggression. This deeper understanding allows parents to build more meaningful and empathetic relationships with their children, fostering a home environment where both parent and child feel heard and respected.

Each chapter is filled with relatable anecdotes and practical advice, making the content accessible and applicable to a wide range of family dynamics. The audiobook doesn't shy away from the complexities of ODD but instead addresses them head-on, providing parents with the confidence to handle difficult situations and help their children develop the skills necessary for cooperative living.
