Publisher's summary

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!

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.

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.

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.
