Document Summary

Disruptive behaviour and noncompliance are developmentally appropriate in young children: hitting, kicking, lying, stealing, physical aggression peaks at 3. 5 years. Behaviours: covert to overt/ destructive and non destructive, property crimes, aggression, oppositional behaviour and status violations. Roots of empathy: want to increase empathy in young kids so they bring a baby, humans have a natural ability to empathize with babies, effective in reducing odd in schools and improving empathy. Odd: age-inappropriate recurrent pattern of stubborn, hostile, disobedient and defiant behaviour, appears by age 8, can have negative effects on parent-child interactions, high risk for developing secondary mood, anxiety, and impulse control disorders. Prevalence: highly comorbid with adhd, more boys than girls, lined with later development of more serious conduct disorder. Barkley"s four-factor model of odd: child temperament- difficult or sensitive, parent temperament- reactive or mood issues themselves, family stress, parents behaviour management skills- most malleable.
