Prompt
Station A is history and formulation with a parent of a 7-year-old with multi-setting defiance. Station B is shared planning: parent training, school liaison, ADHD screen and safety-netting without inappropriate medication.

Station objectives

  1. Take a multi-informant-ready history of defiance with settings, duration and impairment. [4]
  2. Explain the coercive cycle without blaming the parent as “the problem.” [9]
  3. Counsel parent training as first-line with concrete next steps. [5] [11]
  4. Plan school consistency and ADHD screening. [18]
  5. Refuse inappropriate first-line antipsychotic for mild defiance and safety-net. [6]
