Does my child have Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)?

All children are oppositional from time to time (particularly when tired, hungry, stressed or upset) and they will argue, talk back, disobey, and defy parents, teachers, and other adults.

By about age 8, the openly uncooperative and hostile behavior may be ODD when it is so frequent and extreme when compared with other children of the same age and when it affects the child’s social, family, and school life. The causes of ODD are unknown, but many parents report that their child with ODD was more rigid and demanding from an early age than the child’s siblings.
