Oppositional Defiant Disorder is usually called ODD. The truth is that, there is a thin line between children's opposing power and those not directly doing that! Yes, especially, when children with such conduct are not flippant enough to be seen as ODD. Now to differentiate the two scenarios above, we may need to consider the case when parents are informed of the bad behaviors of their kids and to a great measure the disobedience by their kids, however, this has to be observed for a while.... Well, I mean when this conduct goes on for a long period of time (let's say over six months) or when the defiant conduct is observed to be bigger and steadier compared to other children of the same age, then we may have the capacity to characterize the behavioral issue as Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). In most cases the young person with Oppositional Defiant Disorder frequently starts the habit of threatening, chafing, and becoming uncooperative including being mean or inconsiderate towards adults and respected people. This terrible conduct has been found to hinder many kids enjoying a normal life at home, or at school. In fact in some cases other action that may harm other child is associated!
