Description
Many children are labelled 'different' - by doctors, psychologists, educators, or even peers- and as parents, this label can limit our hopes and expectations for them. Although the challenges that come with these labels are very real, and can be daunting, all of our children can be raised to be strong, capable, curious humans.
This book brings together the 12 habits you need to set your child up for success regardless of diagnosis. Chapters range from defining what 'capable' means for your child and setting expectations for how others treat your child, to challenging your child in safe ways, and helping your child build a narrative of strength. With true stories that bring each habit to life, the neuroscience underpinning each habit, activities that encourage reflection and practical application, this is a game-changing guide to understanding, supporting and celebrating your extraordinary child.

Lots of great ideas. Loved the chapters that were given and the advice. This is a great discussion book. Discussion will enhance the content.

A great book for parents of special needs kids! I do not have a neurodivergent or high medical need kiddo, but I do have friends that I will definitely be pass this book along to. It gives great action steps throughout the book and at the end with a great appendix. It also doesn't shame or make a parent wonder if they're doing enough, rather reframing how to deal with the here and now and celebrate the small wins over a long, hard road ahead.

This book has so much valuable information for a parent with any child who has a disability or neurodivergence. I loved the clear structure of the chapters, including the science about why each habit was important. The reflections and questions at the end of each chapter are fantastic (and brilliant to have them all together at the end as worksheets). I felt like all the reflection questions would be better than months and years of therapy. I’m a child welfare lawyer, and would love it if all parents going through the IEP/504 process with schools read this book so they could get clear on the expectations for their child, service providers, and of course it always starts with the parents own views and mindset.
