Children with ODD don’t always behave the same in all settings. Some children may only express defiance with you and their immediate family but act better in a school setting. Other children may have multiple behavioral outbreaks in different locations. If your child is only expressing symptoms with you, they may have mild ODD. If, however, they frequently have outbursts at home, school, and in public, they may have a severe case. It’s best to speak with a therapist to learn more.
