I do not believe this person has ever dealt with a truly ODD child. He gives examples that are not realistic. If you give your ODD child praise you will not hear thanks thats all I needed to hear. The truly ODD child will take any limits or suggestions you give and try and take it one step further. There are some very good suggestions, no yelling ODD children shut down when the parent yells. But to say I do not approve of this or that just tells the ODD child to see to what extent you don’t approve. Remember they think they are the adult you are, they must be reminded that they are not they have not gone through the life experiences you have and have learned by, they also think anything you learned from is dumb they could have done it right or better. Stay away from this book if your child is truly ODD I suggest “The Defiant Child: by Dr douglas A Riley

I sent this book to my sister. She says that in some ways it has been helpful, but her own situation with her defiant child is unique, as each is, and not all the advice has been helpful or workable.

While the author is a bit condescending towards parents, the book is helpful for developing tools for reducing defiance in children. Try it…..it seems to work.

This book is a great tool for those who are at their wit’s end. I would recommend anyone dealing with a defiant child to get a copy. It has been an eye-opener for me. Good luck to all those out there searching for an answer!

In the day of my upbringing, my parents had a child rearing handbook they considered omnipotent. Those philosophies are now considered old school. As a product of those old school philosophies I could have cursed them as a child, and now as an adult I sometimes find myself unknowingly reverting to them for lack of a better way. The need for such parental guidance is still ever present. Dr. Bernstein bridges the gaps in our thinking during times of crisis with our own defiant children. By arming us with the tools of love, Dr. Bernstein’s teachings help any parent grappling with a defiant child restore the love and maintain the peace. If you have kids or work with them, have this book handy – you’re going to need it! 10 Days To A Less Defiant Child is the omnipotent handbook for today’s modern parent.
