About this listen

Do you have a child with oppositional defiant disorder and have no idea how to deal with him or her? Do your child’s defiance and aggression exhaust you and make you angry or worried? If so, this is the audiobook for you.

This book presents a new framework for understanding children’s defiant behavior. The framework is based on the principle that oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is largely learned. It is not the result of bad parenting or bad genes, but because of bad experiences with parents. By learning to communicate better with your child and by avoiding power struggles, you can change the way your child reacts to you.

All parents want their children to be happy, well-behaved, and to love them unconditionally. Yet there are some children who seem determined not to give their parents this satisfaction. This audiobook contains a proven program for overcoming a child's negative behavior and teaching him or her the skills he needs for cooperative living. These lessons are based on behavioral principles that have been shown to be successful in many difficult child situations.

Wow! I am blown away with the info contained in this book. Truly was not expecting to gain insight in things like asthma and vision and many other ways that our somatic symptoms manifest into explosive behaviors. Such an insightful resource that I plan to order copies for my staff and parents to use.

Fabulous Instruction
