Query: Should be named Raising Your Defiant Teenager

Although the book claims to be about ODD and the first chapter gives a good summery of ODD the book does not go on to talk about children who suffer from ODD. Instead, he talks about defiant, rebellious teenagers. All teenagers go through a phase of rebellion, some more then others. It does not mean that they have ODD. ODD is not a phase. It is not something that develops at the age of fifteen. It is something that a child is born with and struggles with from birth. This book is written for teenagers and relates very little with children. The strategies presented are ineffective for a truly ODD child - although they probably work great on a rebellious teenager. Save your money - don't buy this book.
