A guide to diagnosing, understanding, & advocating for your child with learning, behaviour, or emotional problems.
A practical, compassionate book every parent will turn to when they first recognise their child has a problem -- but aren't sure what it is or where to seek help.
At this very moment, millions of children across the United States are falling behind in school, having problems making friends, suffering dramatic mood swings, and more. Their parents are frustrated and afraid, unsure of how to cope with their child's behavior.
Your Struggling Child explains the different and overlapping symptoms of learning, mood, and behavior disorders and guides parents in getting the right diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Newby explains:
How to observe and chart your child's behavior—a critical diagnostic tool
What to expect during the evaluation and treatment process
How to partner with medical and school professionals to assist your child and what to do when conflicts arise
Clear and comprehensive, this supportive guide will be every parent's first line of defense in helping a troubled child.
