Oppositional Defiant Disorder Activities

""Laura has created a helpful and interactive guide to support parents and children as they navigate learning the skills of emotional regulation through fun, hands-on activities. I am grateful to have this wonderful resource to use in my practice and to recommend to clients and friends. Parents will find themselves opening this book repeatedly because it is full of valuable insight and worthwhile activities!"" --Jennifer Kennedy, MS, LPC, owner, The Park Counseling ""Laura McLaughlin has created a workbook that includes both parent education regarding defiance and oppositional responses in children, and a range of fun and innovative parent-child activities. She has used her years of experience in working with kids who struggle with compliance and challenging behaviors to draw from an eclectic therapeutic background spanning cognitive, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and attachment theory. This workbook is an excellent resource for parents who want to understand their challenging child better, to rework the parent-child relationship, and to build skills for both kids and parents to understand and regulate emotions, communicate effectively, and bond at a deeper level."" --Jennifer Morrison, Ph.D.; owner of Kids BRAIN, LLC ""This workbook provides approachable activities that help meet the needs of a child with ODD. These activities foster the parent-child connection, promote calm within the home, and build a skills foundation that can be transferred easily to daily life. I am confident that these activities will foster hope and peace for the child with ODD, the family, and beyond. Thank you, Laura, for your clinical expertise and guidance on this very important topic, and for doing this very important work!"" --Elaine Charles, social emotional school counselor
