Defiance
Childhood defiance that impacts on everyday life such as refusal to get dressed, go to bed, relinquish toys or electronic items can have a significant impact on the day to day functioning of a family.
If your child displays defiance or has a condition such as oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) techniques to help manage challenging behaviours that are tailored to your child can help.
​
With treatment, children and adolescents can overcome the behavioral defiance. They can learn techniques to manage their anger and develop new ways of coping with stressful situations. Treatment also can help parents learn better ways to discipline and techniques to reward good behaviour.
Therapy Options
Therapy options depend on the age of your child and the level of defiance they are displaying. Guidance and techniques could be provided during a consultation for low level defiance but for children with ODD a more comprehensive package of parental support and therapy for the child will likely e needed.
