New hope for parents raising a child with autism spectrum disorders
In Raising Resilient Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, noted psychologists and bestselling authors Dr. Goldstein and Dr. Brooks teach you the strategies and mindset necessary to help your child develop strength, hope, and optimism. This is the first approach for autism spectrum disorders based in the extremely popular field of positive psychology.
Drs. Brooks and Goldstein—world-renowned experts on child psychology and, specifically, resilience—offer you practical tips for long-term solutions rather than just quick fixes. Featuring dozens of stories and an easy-to-follow, prescriptive narrative, Drs. Brooks and Goldstein demonstrate how to apply resilience to every parenting practice when raising a child with autism spectrum disorders, preparing him or her for the challenges of today’s complicated, ever-changing world and helping your child develop essential social skills.
Learn how to:
- Empower your child to problem-solve on his or her own
- Teach your child to learn from mistakes rather than feel defeated by them
- Discipline your child while instilling self-worth
- Build an alliance with your child’s school
Lots of practical examples, and reassuring advice, I'd recommend this to parents, teachers, nurses, practitioners - anyone.
This book is excellent and extremely well thought through and well explained. There is a programme for helping children with ADHD, consisting of carefully- thought-out sessions, with worksheets and clear explanations. The sessions deal with a range of problems, including attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity anxiety and frustration and anger. The child is introduced to all of these topics through the experiences of a boy called Buzz.
Everything in the book is backed up by full references and clinical explanation.
This programme, in conjunction with medication, will help my nephew to understand his behaviours and learn how to manage his complex condition.
From my view, this appears to be a well written treatise and one that any reader will gain some additional knowledge.
Very clearly written and recommended
