"It was lovely seeing you and your family, Jenny. Let's catch up
again soon. And remember, 'All work and no play makes Jack ... an
International Human Rights Lawyer!" Jenny is a busy mum, who gets a
visit from her friend, the Tiger Mum, which makes Jenny feel she's
not doing enough for her own children. If they haven't mastered at
least two instruments, three languages or read all of the classics
before university, how will they ever succeed in life?! With some
help from her family, Jenny realises how easy it is to get caught
up in the anxiety of parenting and the important thing is that her
children are growing up in a warm, loving environment. A humorous
look at overanxious parenting that helps put everyday stresses
about children's achievements into perspective.
Although children with mild neuro-developmental problems have been
known to physicians for decades, they are increasingly coming to
the attention of healthcare professionals and teachers. Careful
assessment may identify features of neurological presentations such
as ADHD, ASD, OCD, dyslexia or Tourette syndrome which may not
warrant formal diagnosis, but will still seriously impair the
child's daily function. Disorganized children are therefore an
invisible and often overlooked group of young people. However, when
parents and teachers implement innovative and creative strategies,
these children and adolescents invariably flourish. This book
explores the multi-disciplinary approaches, which can be managed
psychologically or educationally. The combination of information,
exercises and case studies makes it a valuable tool for parents,
healthcare and teaching professionals, providing important insights
and practical guidance.
