THIS VIDEO IS DOWN!
I am searching for a replacement video that is still a good example.
This is a classic example of oppositional defiant disorder. Does this behavior look familiar? Do you have to deal with defiant behavior like this everyday? I remember the days when Mike’s behavior was like this. It almost hurts to watch because it is so real.
Did you notice the parent’s response…. argh, behavior like that can be so hard to deal with but that kind of response is never going to help the situation. It is frustrating when your child is acting like this but you MUST remain strong and calm. You have to be the PARENT.
It was a hard lesson for me to learn. I wasn’t a bad parent and neither are they (or you) but parenting an ODD child is extremely challenging. You have to learn what works.
You shouldn’t have to tolerate behavior like this. You CAN change your child’s behavior. For me a behavior management program worked wonders. It’s not the right solution for everyone but it is definitely worth a try.
was very interesting,but unlike our situation ,the problem deals with an 11yr. old boy,at times he just goes crazy in the head and screams and yells at the top of his voice to us ,hes very moody all the time unless we give in to him and let him have his own way,then we have to worry bout what he might do to himself or others that hes around,keeps telling me over and over that he hates me,im his stepfather by over 2yrs. nowmy wife and i both see a phyciatrist,now he wants to see our son,this guy cant believe the stories that we tell him,were getting scared that he might go to the final step,try to kill someone or himself,we have had him in what is known as the stars program,but he loved it ,so no help on that one,oh i actualy thought the movie was great idea,do more,but with stronger violent attacts on the parents.,from the child.
