To meet the DSM-IV criteria for Oppositional Defiant Disorder
your child has to display Oppositional Defiant Disorder behavior "more
often" than other children of his age.
Since this definition is still vague, I have added what is usually considered
"often" in most age groups.
Keep in mind that children do go through stages as they grow and whereas twice a
week may be
often for a seven-year-old, it might be normal for a four-year-old.
