6. Multiple Risk Factors

A child who meets numerous risk factors has a higher chance of developing ODD. These can include parenting or family issues such as neglect, inconsistent discipline, or family strife. Your child’s environment can also be a factor; inconsistent discipline may encourage deviant behavior. Also, a child who already has temperament issues, such as being highly emotional, may have trouble understanding or controlling their emotions.
