Oppositional Defiant Disorder: A Survival Guide to Raising Responsible and Brainy Kids. The Perfect Book for Parents of Children or Adolescents with ODD
What does oppositional defiant disorder (O.D.D.) look like in children? How is it different from defiance, tantrums, anger, and rebellion? Do you want to learn more about it? If yes, then keep reading!
O.D.D. is a style of behavior that appears in children between the ages of 3 and 7. They may argue with their parents, teachers, or other authority figures, but O.D.D. behaviors are not always about getting attention.
Kids with O.D.D. tend to get into lots of trouble at school and in social situations, but they don’t necessarily have other emotional problems such as anxiety or depression. A child with an anxiety disorder may be shy, fearful, worried, or afraid of separation from his parents, whereas a child with O.D.D. may be angry that he can’t have things his way right now. The emotional symptoms of an anxiety disorder are different than the emotional symptoms of O.D.D.

There are many reasons why parents and teachers may worry that a child has O.D.D., but it is not the same as having an oppositional defiant disorder.
For the most part, if you suspect that your child may have O.D.D. and you are worried about it, consult with a mental health professional. If they agree that a child’s behavior is consistent in its patterns, they may recommend a complete evaluation by their pediatrician or perhaps a psychiatrist.
