I am a physican, parent of And ODD/ADHD son age 9. He endorses a more tough love kind of approach then other experts in this area. Some examples that come to mind would be Ross Greene, Kazdin and others. Some conflicting recommendations relative to them as well. Nonetheless, some great points, stories and ideas. Well worth the listen.

Worth listening. Some Clear differences from other experts

This book offers excellent tips on dealing with defiant kids of all ages! Some techniques I previously thought were "too tough" to use were validated as useful. It was also an eye opener on how my own behavior when dealing with my defiant 6yr old daughter was preventing positive changes in her.

Excellent tips!
