Understanding ODD in the Classroom

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is characterized by a high need for control, which differs from Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) where anxiety drives behavior. Children with ODD may struggle due to differences in the prefrontal cortex, impacting mood regulation and social interaction. Though the cause of ODD is not definitively known, researchers explore developmental factors, genetic influences, and potential environmental contributions. Parenting styles can influence ODD behaviors, but ODD is not solely caused by poor parenting.
