]]> One of the most significant challenges in the classroom is dealing with oppositional/defiant behavior. Oppositional defiant behavior is characterized by frequent arguing with adults (regardless of how trivial the matter might be), protests of routine direction, refusal to comply with simple requests (e.g., “please return to your seat”), temper outbursts, and deliberate disobedience to test authority or for the sake of defying a recently stated rule (told to use pencil, the child insists on using pen). Children with this condition are easily irritated or annoyed, often angry and resentful, they are short tempered, negativistic, have poor frustration tolerance and frequently project blame onto others for their own mistakes or misbehavior. These children are described as stubborn and unwilling to compromise.

]]> Avoid Power Struggles And Coercive Approaches

Parents and teachers find it difficult to forge a positive relationship with these children, it is exhausting to deal with the constant power struggles and it is easy to get locked into negative exchanges that escalate into serious conflict. The matter is further complicated when parental or teacher authority is challenged in front of other children. Often, what starts as a refusal to cooperate, ends with raised voices and verbal threats from both sides (“You will do this, or else . . .”).
