Raising a Wild Child: An Inside Perspective of a Neurodivergent Mind and How to Parent Those Who Cannot Be Parented - Paperback

by Suzan Issa (Author)

This is a book for the wild children and those who love them.

The children who don't fit the boxes, the free spirits, the wavemakers, the innovators; the children who cannot be moulded ... even if they want to be.

It is also for the parents, grandparents, teachers, carers and anyone else lucky enough to know a wild child but has been made to feel that they are just not trying hard enough. Or maybe they're trying too hard, not doing what they should, being too soft, being too strict ... making things up or imagining things. If that sounds familiar, it is a book for you, too.

This book will provide you with an understanding of your child, help you overcome your fears, and give you hope for their future. It will guide you through practical strategies for helping your distressed child in the middle of a meltdown and show you how to move on, learn from and diminish meltdowns. This book will restore your relationship with your child and their relationship with themselves ... All these are excellent reasons why you should read it ... But, fundamentally, you should read this book because it could ultimately save your child's life.
