Family Forum: Parenting Children with ODD and/or Aggression

May 10 at 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT

Family Forums are held on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month, and are intended to be a time of education, constructive dialogue, and support. Occasionally, topics of particular interest may also be discussed during a lunch hour forum.

Parenting Children with ODD and/or Aggression

Every child is going to act out from time to time. For many, aggression seems to come with each new developmental stage. But knowing that most kids are defiant and aggressive doesn’t help much when you’re in the throes of it as a parent. And if you have a child who is diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, the behavior is severe, prolonged, and pretty disruptive to daily life.

Unfortunately, many youth with trauma histories are going to express themselves through aggression – it’s almost as if it’s their default response. The good news is that default responses can change – but it’s up to us as parents to know what help our children need, and even how our approach to conflict might be triggering our kid’s aggressive or defiant reactions. This forum is a must for anyone who has a foster or pre-adoptive placement with an ODD diagnosis, or whose child leans on aggression as a coping mechanism.

All Recommended families will receive an email inviting them to register for upcoming Forums. If you are Recommended and have not received an email invitation, please contact us at iap@fireflyIN.org. If you are not Recommended with Indiana Adoption Program, but have recently adopted or are in the process of finalizing an adoption and would like to participate, please email your request to your local adoption consultant.
