An innovative seven-week guide for parents to help their child overcome Oppositional Defiant Disorder.Children are not born with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)-they are born with a "difficult" temperament. But once ODD takes hold, parent and child often become locked in a toxic relationship that is filled with anger, coercion, and negativity, despite the parent's best intentions. In Breaking Up With ODD, behavioral child psychologist Dr. Joanne Wilkoff Wilson provides parents with a practical, week-by-week guide to her innovative seven-week intervention program for children with ODD. Using a method called Family Attachment Skills Training (FAST), this book includes eight key advances in parent management training that emphasize the importance of healing the relationship between parent and child. It includes attachment activities, novel games, a tantrum solution, and, most importantly, a "love and consequences" approach.Parent management training has long been seen as the hallmark of treatment for ODD, but the FAST program moves this training into the twenty-first century. Breaking Up With ODD teaches parents to re-establish attachment with their child through play, praise, affection, and monitoring, and, in the end, teaches the child how to show their best side to the world.
