There is this misperception that oppositional defiant disorder is not a real disorder and that the child just need their parents to discipline better or to improve their parenting skills. Back in the day when a child showed behaviors of not listening, throwing tantrums, argues or fights a lot they were call a “brat” (Wedge, 2010).
