A child’s oppositional behaviors aren’t intentional. Experts think ODD is linked to intense impulsivity. Not being able to control impulses, plus the stress and frustration of trying to get on top of ADHD symptoms every day, lead some kids to lash out.
If a child with ODD doesn’t respond well to stimulants, some doctors prescribe the non-stimulant atomoxetine . In one study, researchers found that the medication significantly reduced ODD and ADHD symptoms. However, higher doses of the medication were needed to control symptoms.
For behavior therapy to work, all of the caring adults in the child's life should use the same discipline strategies that you do. Grandparents, teachers, nannies, and other adults who spend time alone with your child with oppositional defiant disorder must understand which carrots and sticks you use and, above all, use them consistently. If one of them gives into your child’s bad behavior, it can undermine your discipline program.
