About the Series
Children can be difficult; this is a given. But sometimes a child’s difficult behavior occurs so often and is so severe that it can negatively impact family relationships. This series covers the diagnosis that, believe it or not, is an opportunity to change your child’s life for the better.
While all children have symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) from time to time, there are certain factors that differentiate whether a child’s difficult behavior can be managed at home, or whether there’s a need for outside intervention.
Welcome to your crash course for parenting combative kids.

“Reaching out for help, for me, was hard. But, when I did - the outpouring of support was so immense and being in the chair of a parent that is dealing with this has taught me so much and I am certain it has made me a better doctor. It changed my life for the better. And the good news is, he [my son] is doing better.”
