1. Children with CD are usually not remorseful.
2. The ADHD and ODD combination does not happen in all individuals.
3. A child with ODD understands boundaries and the fact that feelings can be hurt, thus being remorseful. Children with CD are not remorseful for their actions.
4. A child with CD requires consistency, but this does not mean that the child will be successful in his/her adult life.
