Oppositional Defiant Disorder
| "Throughout their growing years, most children will from time to time exhibit oppositional behavior characteristics --rebelliousness, negativity and argumentativeness. Every parent expects to hear some defiant and nasty statements from their child as they go through development and especially in their teen years. Many psychologists have characterized preadolescence and adolescence as a kind of repeat of the "terrible twos" in terms of the negative, strong-willed behavior."(Dr. Dubin) However, some children take this behavior to an extreme. With a certain frequency and level of aggression, these characteristics become Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Below, you will find links to many resources regarding ODD. |
