Angry Kid? Maybe It's Oppositional Defiant Disorder

9. Treatment Is Possible

Identifying ODD in your child as early as possible ensures they receive adequate treatment. Remedies can come in many forms including therapy, social skills training, and parent-child training. You may have to relearn how to communicate with your child to ensure useful behavioral direction. Other prominent authority figures in your child’s life may also want to be involved in the training. That way, you can all make sure your child is getting consistent reinforcement.
