[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And if the parenting is so bad such that the child is diagnosed with ODD, how do you suppose that suddenly they will be good enough to master your espoused approach? It doesn't work that way. The child made his or her way into an ODD diagnosis because of environmental factors such as poor parenting. ODD is not a biologic condition, it is behavioral, and behavior is shaped by parents.[/quote] It can work that way, thank heavens. Parents who have a child who is extremely oppositional are not (necessarily) bad at parenting, and very likely are doing a great job with their non ODD children. But it takes exceptional parenting skills to parent a child with symptoms of ODD. They don't "suddenly" become good at it -- it takes training, and learning specific skills. [/quote]
