Re: Oppositional Defiant ChildNEW by: Laura Ramirez
Hi Daryl,
You are right to be concerned about your son. I'm also concerned that your son had a "blowout" with his therapist. The therapist should have shown more self control.
What I suggest is that you bring the therapy home. You can do this by getting a copy of a behavioral program that has been recommended to me by a number of parents who were in situations similar to yours. It's a series of CDs and a workbook that will teach you simple techniques for turning around your son's behavior.
Because so many parents have written in about this program, I have recently published a review of it. Read my review here. The program it is well put together, easily understandable and gives parents the tools to change their kids' behavior and transform their lives.
The program was developed by a therapist who has helped countless angry, defiant kids turn their lives around. It has strategies that work. Best of all, you don't have to go outside the family to help your son make changes in his behavior.
I believe that you can still get the program on a 30-day trial basis, so you'll have a chance to go through it and see if you think it is right for you and your son.
Although your son may seem mean or even cruel, know that on the inside, he is suffering. No one who treats others poorly or disrespectfully could possibly be happy. This is why it's crucial that you get help.
