[quote=Anonymous]My question is not how many of the posters here went to med school, but how many of us actually fit the criterion raised in the question: parents who are raising a teen with an ODD diagnosis? I am. My teen has depression, anxiety, and ODD, ADHD and learning disabilities. I am by no means a perfect parent, but I am a competent, caring one who took parenting classes and implemented reasonable limits and boundaries. You know what? That wasn't enough. The oppositional behaviors continued--in my teen's case, much more at school than at home. YMMV, but in my case, what was most helpful was to get a handle on the reasons for the behavior--especially the strong connection between anxiety and the desire to control. A family systems approach enabled us to see that what my teen needs is ongoing training and support around learning to trust adults. That's not exactly what's taught in most parenting classes, btw.[/quote]
