Raising an Oppositional Child with ADHD

Successful Keys for an Explosive Child with Oppositional Defiant Disorder and ADHD

De: Eunice Churchill

Narrado por: Skye Alley

Raising children is never an easy task; as many parents will tell you, it is a lifetime commitment and one that can sometimes be thankless. Now, raising a neurodivergent child makes parenting several times more challenging.

Neurodivergence is the difference in brain function from what we consider standard or typical. A neurodivergent child shows different mental characteristics from what would be considered typical, called neurotypical. ODD and ADHD are two examples of neurodivergent disorders that are common among the population.

Raising a child with an ODD and ADHD combination is infinitely more challenging than usual and requires greater tact and patience. Children with ODD and ADHD often show developmental problems, defiance of authority, and disregard for what is considered normal, and, if it's not checked, they can develop problems in their social life.

So, if you are wondering:

• What exactly are ODD and ADHD?
• How do I tell the difference between the two?
• What behavioral problems do the two disorders display?

And other similar questions, then read on.

This book will cover:

• What ODD and ADHD are
• How ODD with ADHD presents itself
• Behavioral problems that an oppositional child displays
• Learning how to raise a child with ODD and ADHD combined
• And so much more

I hope you enjoy it!

It’s not that helpful

It gives a lot of information without any suggestions or aid in how to implement the information. If they do, it’s very vague. If you’re looking for something that walks you through how to parent certain situations or behavior, this isn’t it.

Gave me anxiety

Made it about half way through. Feel like my child has no chance and we should just be in counseling, which we already are.

I think it’s a robot voice!

Very difficult to listen because the voice is so monotone. I think it’s a robot voice. If it’s not, I’m not sure how this person was hired to read a book. Just do not buy the audible.

Not For Everyone

This is a more clinical focused book. Not for a parent looking for insight into how to help their child and themselves.

absolute garbage

early on I started to feel negatively about this book but I kept trying to power through hoping I'd find something helpful. I am to the point where I have given up on finishing and I now need to return the book and warn others about wasting there time. in one of the first chapters it is discussing causes and keeps circling back to poverty being a cause without delving into why that is a trend in the data(no a cause a trend!) it brushes over any other potential cause and is basicly vilfying people for not have endless resoursec. much of the material boils down to the skills of emotional regulation and communication did not develop in todlerhood and early childhood and therefore as the child get older and there problems and emotions get bigger so do there responses. now let me tell you what has masterly repulsed. Chapter 14 I belive, title indicating navigation of medication, within the first few sentences it point blank states that medication will be absolutely necessary for your child to cope. I'm not saying medication is bad and shouldn't be used when actually necessary but there are many many people who do not take medication and use plenty of other effective coping skills. there are also plenty of people who get on (or are put on in the case of children) medication without seaking any other therapies or classes for parents or children. the implication that medication is 100% necessary is disgusting. 10/10 would nor recomend this book.

Too many statistics

Very basic information you could find on Google you don't need a whole book about it. I really thought this was going to be more helpful with more examples, it's not.
And all the statistics about the many ways a child could get ADHD or autism didn't seem to fit in this book. I'll be sure and read samples always thanks.

For younger kids

This almost felt like a slap in the face for a parent of teens who have been adhd and one that became odd in preteen times. There wasn’t anything new or different that I hadn’t already known.
