A recommended introductory book (relatively short too) into the world of ADHD plus ODD kids. It gives you deeper understanding of this combo of a disorder and ways to lessen the impact.

While there are no FDA-approved medications to ODD, it does not mean there are no ways that might help though the cumbersome challenge of raising such kids will remain as the tips mentioned in the book does not cure the disorder from its origin, it just help the parents, care-givers or school teachers; reduce the extent of the explosiveness.

Just for reference, I read also in this subject: "Defiant Children" by Brittant Forrester and "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" by Monica Payne but this one "Raising an Oppositional Child with ADHD" has been much better than the former two.

Because of my previous education and work experience, I’m not sure I really learned anything new from this brief exploration of ODD & ADHD. However, I did appreciate some reminders and reinforcement of strategies and approaches for working with a child with these diagnoses. I could see these strategies being useful for parents who do not have a background in education.

That being said, I was a bit disappointed with the negative lens the author seems to have. I know these are medical diagnoses and yes, they fall into the category of disabilities, but it just seemed to lack a human element or connection at times. There were also several instances of weird syntactical errors in the writing and some repetitiveness. Also, the audiobook production quality seemed choppy.

Hands on, practical advice that often gets glazed over with literature on the subject.

I honestly think the more we feed our brains about these disorders the better our children will be. I have a son who has ADHD, ODD and anxiety. He fits this book to a t. While reading this book I found myself shaking my head up and down so many times. It’s good to know I’m not alone. And have guidance as to what we should do and how this should be treated. So let’s unite! Parents, teachers, Drs and patients! We can do this together!

The book offers good explanations and a few good tips, especially on how to work on yourself and not just the child. My main takeaway is that these children’s biggest fear is loss of control, and that an authority figure‘s controlling tendencies can aggravate things when it becomes a power struggle. Understanding that helps us react more calmly. The book still left me wanting, however, because the child I’m dealing with is a much heavier case than those described in the book.

The book did not contain a lot of new information, as I am a special education teacher. It was encouraging and reminded me that I need to give my child more options that allow her to feel in control. I think I may encourage her to listen to it when she is older.

Do not expect a mincing of words. Author is direct but also offers ideas on how to navigate this tricky path.

Not for me

I learned 1 thing from the whole book. Maybe people with absolutely zero knowledge could benefit from this but it was definitely not helpful for me.

This book was most certainly written by AI.

[Ricki Cook · Rating 5 out of 5]

This would have been a useful book when I was teaching! Seems like it goes along with most of what I learned/was told to do working with some of the hardest kiddos.
