The Secret World of Oppositional Defiance

Are you battling resistance from your child at every turn?
The pathway to harmony will astound you!

Does your child consistently say: "I don't care", when you deliver a consequence? Does your child blame others for his or her mistakes? Are you ready to 'tear your hair out' with frustration? Have you run out of effective strategies? Would you like to turn your relationship with your child around?

Kids with features of Oppositional Defiance exhibit an overwhelming amount of resistance to parental requests. These kids do not relate to the idea of "win-win" so negotiation tends to be ineffective. Parents and teachers often report that delivering consequences has no impact in shifting the behavior of such a child. In fact, it often fuels further defiance.

Sandra unlocks the underlying dynamics, taking parents/caregivers "behind the scenes" and helping them to dramatically shift the drama. You and your child will be transformed if you attend and practice the strategies experienced at this workshop. It is: The difference that makes the difference. You will discover:

  • the unique thinking of the oppositional defiant child
  • the responses that help put you back into the position of healthy authority
  • the art of handling your emotional upset while remaining in the 'driver's seat'
  • the delightful side of your child, lost in the rubble
