How can talking to a stuffed toy lead to a new pattern of behavior for children with ODD?
ODD can be treated with cognitive-behavioral therapies.Patients diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder can exhibit constant and excessive anger and aggravation. Symptoms of ODD typically arise by the age of 8, as children become defiant and uncooperative, which can lead to challenging situations in homes, schools, and with authorities.
A recent method of group therapy for children has involved the incorporation of stuffed toys, also known as stuffies or plushies. These toys can provide support and comfort to children undergoing unfamiliar orIn my counseling practice, I have been working with an 11-year-old boy with ODD. His defiance and associated anger when asked to participate in family activities and perform chores has affected the behavior of his three younger siblings, and been a source of acrimony within the family.
Subsequent therapy with the patient involved rewarding him for improved behavior with Pokémon, food, and favorite activities, and ignoring his negative behavior as much as possible. However, the patient continued to act defiantly much of the time.The patient explained that in general he wanted to follow his parents’ instructions but could not bring himself to do so.
Subsequently, I worked with a 5-year-old boy who expressed pride in not listening to his parents or his kindergarten teacher. He said, “I was sent to the principal’s office 100 times last year, and if I get sent there 500 times I’ll be expelled.”
