Nurturing the Spirit of the Wild, Odd, and Oppositional Child – Revised Edition By: George Lynn Publisher: Jessica Kingsley Publishers Print ISBN: 9781843108207, 1843108208 eText ISBN: 9781846424489, 1846424488 Pages: 272 Copyright year: 2005 Format: PDF Available from $ 24.95 USD SKU 9781846424489 Genius! is an inspiring guide to nurturing the remarkable abilities of attention different (AD) children diagnosed with conditions such as autism, Asperger Syndrome, AD/HD, bipolar disorder, or Tourette Syndrome (TS). Drawing on their experiences with their own son, who has TS, George T. Lynn and Joanne Barrie Lynn offer a positive parenting philosophy and successful strategies for creating an affirmative social and emotional environment that unlocks the potential genius in 'neurologically eccentric' children. The authors emphasize the importance of identifying the signs of giftedness, providing the necessary care and mentoring, and using medication with due consideration of its benefits and limitations. They also acknowledge the need to confront the `dark side' of atypical neurology - obsessiveness, self-centredness and hyperactivity - and offer helpful advice on ensuring parents' and carers' own emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. This book will be an essential tool for parents and carers to help bring out the best in their AD child and help him explore his full potential in life. This revised edition also includes additional material on working with older age groups.
