Thanks to Integrated Learning Strategies for this cery helpful post!

If your child or student always says “huh?” or “what?,” it might NOT be their hearing…

Kids who often need instructions given to them multiple times, or those that appear to not be listening, typically don’t have hearing problems.

If the child often asks “huh?” or “what?,” it could be an Auditory Processing problem.

You may begin to notice the signs as the child gets older when the teacher says the child struggles to complete homework, tasks and consistently asks what they should be doing.

Other signs may include the following:

👂🏻Doesn’t like to read or to be read to
👂🏻Understands written language rather than spoken language
👂🏻Hears, but doesn’t listen
​​👂🏻Struggles to follow conversations

It’s easy to feel like you are being ignored. However, the child is usually not ignoring on purpose, but is rather having trouble following directions through their auditory system.

This is a good reminder of what can help your child shift during a meltdown.

Is your child constantly arguing, refusing to follow rules, or reacting with intense anger over small things?

Oppositional Defiant Disorder - ODD - is often misunderstood. Many children and teenagers labelled as rude, difficult or disrespectful are actually struggling with emotional regulation, feeling powerless, or coping with stress they cannot put into words.

ODD is not about bad parenting. It is not about a child being “naughty”. It is not solved by shouting louder or punishing harder. In fact, power struggles, public arguments and harsh consequences often make things worse.

Children with ODD frequently feel criticised, controlled or misunderstood. Their behaviour can look like constant defiance, blaming others, losing their temper quickly, or deliberately pushing back against adults. Underneath that behaviour is often a young person who feels overwhelmed and does not know how to manage big emotions safely.

This is hard. It can drain families. It can impact school life. It can affect siblings and relationships. Parents and carers can feel exhausted, judged and alone.

But understanding what is driving the behaviour changes everything. Calm responses, clear boundaries, consistency and daily positive connection can reduce conflict over time. Early support from schools and mental health professionals can also make a real difference.

If you are raising or working with a child who shows ongoing oppositional or defiant behaviour, you are not alone. With the right support, things can improve.
