If you're the mom of a child diagnosed with ODD, I want you to see this. Not because I have another parenting tip for you. Because I remember what it felt like to desperately need someone to show me something different. My son Zach had been diagnosed with an extremely severe case of oppositional defiant disorder. I had read the books. I had looked for answers. I loved my child fiercely. But I didn't know how to reach him. Bedtime alone could become a three-hour meltdown. Then Thomas came into our lives. One night, I had company over and was already bracing myself for what would happen when I told Zach it was time for bed. Sure enough: “I don't want to go to bed!” And then I watched Thomas do something no one had ever shown me before. He didn't lecture Zach. He didn't threaten him. He didn't overpower him. And he didn't just give in. He gave Zach a meaningful choice: Go to bed now with a story, or in ten minutes by himself. Zach chose ten minutes. Then Thomas discovered Zach didn't actually know how to tell when ten minutes had passed on the clock. So he taught him. That's the part I almost missed. Thomas wasn't simply trying to stop the behavior. He was teaching my child something he didn't know. I remember thinking, This isn't going to work. I expected that in ten minutes we'd be right back in the same fight. But ten minutes later, Zach came running upstairs with a smile on his face, hugged me, said: “I love you. Good night.” And went to bed. No three-hour meltdown. I had just watched my child respond differently when the approach was different. And that gave me something I desperately needed: HOPE. Maybe my child wasn't destined to spend his life fighting everyone. Maybe there was more inside him than the behavior and the diagnosis. Maybe I simply hadn't been shown how to reach that part of him yet. That moment was only the beginning. I had a lot to learn. And I had to be willing to change. But once I saw there was another way, I wanted to know everything Thomas knew. That's the mom I'm speaking to today. The one who's tried the advice. The one who's exhausted. The one who may even have people around her telling her to simply accept that this is how her child is. But something inside her still says, “There is more in my child than this.” If that's you, watch the video. And if it leaves you wondering “What else haven't I been shown?”, we've put five foundational Champion Principles into a free guide. It's simply a place to begin learning this different way. 👇 Access the Champion Guide below.
