How do you deal with oppositional defiant disorder in children?

Managing ODD requires patience, structure, and consistency. Parents and carers can:

• Use calm, firm communication.
• Reinforce positive behaviour with praise and rewards.
• Set realistic, clear expectations.
• Avoid escalating arguments and power struggles.
• Work with therapists for structured support.

Professional guidance ensures these strategies are applied effectively across home, school, and community settings.
