Description
Author Biography
Google Preview: 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.; Deborah Winking, PhD, is a mother of four (including one child born with a rare neurological syndrome) and holds a PhD in Educational Psychology from the University of Illinois. She has worked with and advocated for countless children and families as an educator, school leader, consultant, and university researcher. Dr. Winking currently works at a bilingual public school with students of varying exceptionalities and their families.; Google Preview content
