ODD? Isn't it ADD?

[Gavoora123]

I think parents lack lot of essential knowledge when it comes to child development. Many don't seem to know the proper way. It's a tragedy.

Continue learning and you are investing in your child's future.

Ok what if spankin didn't work. My child is like probably worst and he says no regardless who u r. I'm starting to think he has a problem. I'm starting to think he has ODD.

Some people dont know about anything other than spanks and authority, and think that when they remove those punishments they must replace them with the 'logical consequences' technique. They think they will 'push' the kid into doing the right thing with aversive situations and just spiral down into stagnation, and that is how ODD, disruptive and challenging behavior can establish. Reinforcing the kid, even with DRA, is the best way to put a kid on the good way, not by frowning when he gets lost.

[omgtkseth]

Positive punishment is out dated for a reason. Proactive teaching is far superior but the problem is most people never learn how its applied. They want to spank the kids, and when they dont, they are just silly brutes like the people that commented below. Hitting a kid must be replaced with cuing, time outs, DRAs, not not with orders and coarse authority. Its about making him like the stuff he should do. Giving him a hard time to "push" him into doing it is NOT reinforcing.
