Many children are labelled 'different' - by doctors, by educators, by peers - and as parents, this label can often limit our hopes and expectations for them. Although the challenges that come with being different are real, and vary greatly - all children can be raised to be strong, capable, curious humans.
This book brings together 12 habits for parents to set your child up for success - regardless of diagnosis. Chapters range from defining what 'capable' means for your child and setting expectations that others treat your child as capable, to challenging your child in safe ways and allowing your child to make decisions for themselves. With true stories that bring each habit to life, the science underpinning it, activities that encourage practical application and space for reflection - this is a compassionate guide to understanding, supporting and celebrating your extraordinary child in ways that are game changing.
