Oppositional Defiant Disorder?

Are you seeing any of these signs or symptoms on your child or a child you know?
Hello and welcome to another video about behavior disorders. Today we’re going to talk about Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
Oppositional Defiant Disorder, or simply ODD, usually affects children and is characterized by disobedience, anger, lack of control, and a recurring pattern of negative behavior. It is often challenging for caretakers and educators to deal with kids who suffer from this disorder.
The oppositional defiant disorder is a common behavioral condition among school-age children and can be defined as a persistent pattern of negative, hostile, defiant, and disobedient behaviors observed in a child's social interactions with adults and authority figures in general, such as parents, uncles, grandparents, and teachers, and may also be present in their relationships with friends and schoolmates.
We all know that disobedience is an increasingly common problem in the school environment, which directly affects children's development and compromises their learning. It can be linked to several factors, including oppositional defiant disorder. ODD is little talked about, but awareness has grown alarmingly within society in recent years... continue watching to learn more about Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

My grandson has been diagnosed with both ADHD and ODD. I have been working on a reward system for him and positive reinforcement instead of yelling, taking away electronics, standing in the corner etc since I read a beginner’s guide on parenting children with ADHD . I’m new to all of This and i am learning everything I can to help him as much as I can. today was the first time he’s apologized for telling me he hates me. He was calm when he faced an issue with his clothes and we handled it well. I literally choked back tears because in moments like this. I know we’re doing our best to figure out how to manage everything in a positive manner. Because it has been quite overwhelming when I have 3 kids to take care of and it affects everyone in the family. I’m very proud of all of them and grateful for all the information that is available.

I hope this video brings more awareness to this problem. I recognized my child having this about 8 yrs ago. I could not get the school, therapists or anyone else to listen to me. They all laughed it off and told me I was either exaggerating or to wait it out-it’s just a phase. This left me with no game plane on how I was to reach my child to get real change. Many many fights and a lot of wasted years have gone by. At this point my teen child has issues that others are clearly seeing and pointing out. My message to other parents-if you truly believe your child is O.D.D., educate yourself on it and start making changes NOW! There is so much advice these days on how to handle this that I did not have access to. Take the reins and enact real change fast! Good luck to anyone watching this video 🍀☺️ 💪🏼

My grandson has this and has acknowledged to me that he wants to be good but he lives in a household where their is constant yelling at him. He has low self esteem and is just 9 and I know he has felt this way since he was 7. I wish I could do more for him but I live out of town. When I am with him and treat him with love and kindness I see little of the bad behavior.

Watching this video made me think of one of my students, i always knew it's something out of his control. Much appreciated.

While disorders and a child’s emotions do matter, I think too many parents are concerned with giving their child what they didn’t have and spoiling them instead of actually preparing their child for the real world.

I spent the vast majority of k-12 in ISS “in school suspension”. I was constantly being at home suspensions. As well as being almost kicked out of every school I’ve been to. The first elementary school I went to had to make a little room for me in a closet. Once got caught with an ice pick in second grade. I learned early that the school couldn’t really inflict a punishment that wasn’t acceptable to me. So I just did what I wanted. I’m doing well now actually. Never been to jail as an adult, I’ve had a stable job about 9 years and married with kids.

As a person that has odd it does not hurt anybody more than it hurts the child. Being constantly told there is something wrong with u does cause damage. Also allot of the times (not every case but most) children with odd developed it from bad parenting/abuse. So picture this. The child has developed a strong defiance and negative feeling towards the parents, and they arent wrong for feeling that way, a child can ask for help all they want but bcuz their home is terrible, and who will belive a child with odd? in my experience, no one, the child cannot defend themselves at all or even explain why they are valid for feeling this way bcuz they are labeled as defient, annoying, destructive, liars, and problems starters, now if you were labeled as that, tell me would you be happy?

I think questioning your environment and everything involved in it is crucial for everyone.

Sounds like my daughter, and she does have neurological, brain issues, adhd, and autism. This has never been brought up, so today was the first time I have heard about it. We will be getting her treated for it, so she and us can get they help we all need. As parents we have been asking for help for us on how to be better parents for her.

AS a guy with ADHD, OCD, ODD and ASPD the world feels like a prison sometimes.

I have Autism ADHD ODD. I'm struggling with ODD its been affecting me for a long time. 20 years old and reflecting back and it started when I was 12 in year 7 high school started getting detentions not listening to the teachers. From me not being aware of my condition what was wrong with me I never gotten treated and it resulted in the condition gotten lot worse to the fact it ruining my parents life and also brothers life as in my brain it feels like as if I am getting attacked when I get told to do something or improve on and this make me have difficulty of following instructions. Cost me getting my independence many of things. You do have empathy and feel bad for each time you act out. Truth is through schooling you see lots of people acting out and not listening to teachers instructions and schools don't do enough to educate students about this condition. In school you have a lot of bad influence as what you see and around is what you become.

this is fun to learn about my disorder and how i can get help with it even with therapy

[edwong]

I had a friend with ADHD and ODD. The shame from being constantly corrected as an ADHD child resulted in him developing ODD. Unfortunately his oppositional behaviour persisted into adulthood and resembles narcissism as he is unable to receive any feedback from others and learn from his mistakes. I observe him going through life concerned only about his needs and surrounding himself with sycophants who do not challenge and thus enable his maladaptive behaviours.

Great Video! My 6 years old has this disorder and as a family, we are dealing with many behavioral issues.

[ChristyUlery]

Please recommend where to get help specifically for ODD. Thank you

Remembering when my narcissist abusive mother used this diagnosis my brother got after he tried to run away from her to keep him under her thumb and convince professionals he was the problem. ❤️

Diagnose a new disorder to cover for poor parenting. Just love your children, respect your spouse and be consistent with punishments. Along with interviewing teachers before exposing your child to harmful ideologies.

My grandson is 6 and has all the signs of ODD. He’s also been diagnosed with ADHD.. WE HAVE NO SUPPORT SYSTEM here in the country. Everything is 20 miles away and I can’t drive. This is horrible. One person said it was hard on the child ? Yes but it’s also hard to hear “ I hate you, I hate this house, I hate this room, I hate my bed, I hate Santa clause, I ate everything “” everyday and I mean EVERY DAY !! What is a grandparent supposed to do to help their grandson ? Im just at my wits end

[Polka-Dot-ohokay]

This ruined my life… my parents treated me like a dog because I was diagnosed with ODD by THEM not a doctor and when I did go to therapy they didn’t help at all they just made it worse by giving my parents advice that hurt me… they read a book about it and made me read it three times and always made sure to remind me that that was me… at one point my dads girlfriend said I was worth less than her dog… I was not viewed as a child it that house I was instead treated like a simple roach and wasn’t treated like how I should’ve been
