5.0 out of 5 stars A Calm and Reasoned Response, 2 Feb 2003
By Mrs. Sba Francis (Carmarthen, Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Dealing with a child who seems to be constantly pushing the barriers is an exhausting way to live, and Dr Riley's book has been of immense use in trying to calm the entire family situation down. Using accessible language and calm, measured tones, Dr Riley takes the frustrated parent step by step through processes designed to not only initially quieten a situation, but deal with the issues in the long run.

Don't be put off buying the book if you feel that your child is not an ODD kid; many of the measures are firm and reasonable enough to deal with kids who are excessive in their behaviour, without maybe being oppositional. The layout of the book is such that a parent can choose the methods that seem most suited to the child and the behaviour.

We were most impressed with the book's no-nonsense approach to child rearing. Too many books seem to take a wishy-washy approach to children who drive the parents mad, somehow attaching the blame to the parents. Dr Riley asks you to look at the family situation, but also points out that many children are just oppositional, it's a part of their nature, and blame is not to be attached. Instead, he offers practical ideas on how to deal with the situation you are in.

I would recommend this book not just to parents, but to teachers of defiant children as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is an excellent primer on ODD and its treatment., 22 May 1998
By A Customer
Dr. Riley's book provides a good overview of the and range of behaviors exhibited by the ODD teenager. There is not much written on this disorder and even less about teenagers with ODD. I now have a better understanding about why my son behaves the way he does and some ideas as to what I can do to change his behavior before it is too late.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring parential guide for families in turmoil, 23 May 1998
By A Customer
This is an excellent book of strategies to help ODD children learn acceptable behavior. The book is well written without professional jargon. The author explains successful methods of behavior modification by example of his clients. Suggested for use in addition to professional council.

I regret I didn't know about this book a year ago.
