Praise and the Child with ODD

A child diagnosed with Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD) often does not like to be praised or rewarded. In fact, praising this child may actually cause the child to misbehave. This is because a child with ODD has such a strong urge to do exactly the opposite of what you want. By telling the child with ODD that you like what they are doing, they just might sabotage your reward by doing the exact opposite. Instead, give subtle praises, such as a wink, or a whispered "Great tower you built!" in passing without even slowing down long enough to make eye contact. This takes the challenge out of the situation will still letting the child know that what s/he did was right. For a description of ODD, visit ODD.blocks
