Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We want to thank the families who have so willingly shared their stories and lives with us. We also thank our colleagues who have shared their insights and wisdom with us and who have greatly enriched our work. #2 The traditional approach to diagnosing and treating at-risk children is piecemeal and disconnected. Too often, parents and experts look at behavioral disorders as if they exist separate from sensory impairments, attention difficulties, early childhood deprivation, and more. #3 The key to helping your child overcome the effects of harm is to treat the whole child, with all their interrelated needs, not just one small aspect of behavior or illness. By providing this healing environment, you can help your child overcome a legacy of maltreatment and become an effective healer for your own child. #4 Coaching and parenting an at-risk child is multidisciplinary and ongoing. It involves building emotional intelligence as well as intellectual mastery. It supports your child’s senses and physiology along with his psychology.
