ADHD and ODD are not about “bad behavior.”
They are about lagging skills, emotional regulation struggles, and nervous systems that get overwhelmed fast.
When a child has ADHD, impulsivity and big emotions can take over before logic even has a chance.
When ODD shows up, it often looks like defiance. But underneath?
Frustration.
Feeling misunderstood.
Power struggles that escalate quickly.
This is where parent management matters.
Not harsher consequences.
Not louder voices.
Not more punishment.
But:
Clear structure
Calm and consistent responses
Predictable consequences
Emotional regulation modeling
Connection before correction
When parents shift how they respond, kids shift how they behave.
Parent management training gives you tools to:
• Reduce power struggles
• Increase cooperation
• Build emotional regulation
• Strengthen your relationship
• Create consistency between caregivers
Your child is not trying to give you a hard time.
They are having a hard time.
And with the right support, change is possible.
