One in five children has a diagnosis or suspected diagnosis of ADHD, giftedness, dyslexia, dyscalculia, autism, dyspraxia or AVWS. This book supports parents in recognising and promoting the strengths of neurodivergent children.
What should be done if the child feels wrong, if it is overwhelmed by its ‘emotional volcano’ or if it is not keeping up at school?
The well-known primary school teacher Saskia Niechzial supports parents in a competent, understanding and very personal way (two of her children and she herself are neurodivergent) with help for family life, kindergarten and school as well as background knowledge on each diagnosis.
She shows them how they can support their children’s self-image and independence and where and in which networks and contact points they can find information on treatment, medication and support options. It also offers advice and support for teachers.
