Overview

""Why does he always say no?"" ""Why does he challenge everything?"" ""Is he just stubborn, or is there something more?"" Raising a child with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a challenge that can overwhelm even the most attentive parent. This book was created precisely to offer a space for understanding, concrete tools, and-most importantly-a strong and clear message: you are not alone. And something can be done. Co-authored by Cesare Amori, a retired Carabinieri non-commissioned officer, and his mother, Donatella Cartocci, a speech therapist with extensive clinical experience, this book combines scientific rigor and human depth, speaking directly to parents who find themselves living daily with oppositional behavior, constant provocations, family tensions, and emotional distress. Using accessible and non-judgmental language, the book takes the reader on a detailed journey that addresses: what ODD is (and what it isn't); how to recognize it and distinguish it from a simple difficult personality; What are the causes, signs, and possible consequences; Which educational and relational strategies really work; When and how to seek professional help; How to involve the whole family, including the school, in a shared educational project. Not a miracle solution, but a possible path-one made of listening, consistency, practical tools, and hope. A book designed to understand children when they can't express their feelings, and to support parents when they feel they can't cope anymore. Because behind every ""no"" a child shouts, there's a cry for help. And behind every adult who learns to listen, there's a chance for change.
