Book - Parent

Description

"The work is about the problems of intelligent children who struggle to learn. Dr Selikowitz has written a sympathetic guide to the often controversial subject of dyslexia and other learning disorders. He deals with difficulties in traditional academic areas such as reading, spelling and arithmetic, and tackles more subtle conditions such as clumsiness, social unease and hyperactivity. He describes what is known about these problems, concentrating on information that is of practical relevance to parents in understanding their children's difficulties and in helping them to overcome them and improve their self-esteem. There are also suggestions for managing difficult behaviours. ..." -Bloomsbury Review
