Discover the Advantages of Children with High Needs

High-need children are often seen as "difficult", "expensive" and "troublesome" children, but in fact, their challenging parenting traits, such as "strong will", "high energy", "clear goals" and "strong insight" are precisely the valuable qualities that can help them succeed. The author of this book, Mary, who has two high-needs children and has coached many parents of high-needs children, knows how difficult it is to raise high-needs children - who are naturally more emotionally intense, energetic, persistent, and sensitive than average children. But Marie's follow-up research shows that high-needs children grow up to excel. She summed up the important concept to adhere to in raising children with high needs: "the pursuit of progress, not the pursuit of perfection/beauty." This book uses vivid parenting cases to explain the step-by-step approach to raising high-need children, which can help families with high-need children reduce parent-child conflicts, so that parents of high-need children through some parenting skills, those maddening characteristics of children into children's advantages, so that parents can enjoy the rich experience brought by high-need children.

This book can help parents:

Understand the temperament of the child and the parents themselves;

The power to label children positively rather than negatively;

Cope correctly with children's emotional breakdown and difficult moments of parent-child confrontation;

Help children turn their weaknesses into strengths through "understanding, coping and cooperation";

Provide effective strategies for the frequent parenting problems of children with high needs, such as meals, sleep, social interaction, life rules, and studies!
