If you believe that you can do it, then you probably can. Unfortunately, many kids are told quite the opposite, especially if they don't quite "fit in." Kids with learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, victims of bullies and many others get constant messages, that they are not worthy. Many of these messages come from teachers, parents and others who are supposed to be helping them. Quickly, they will believe it and it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. We have some great FREE inspirational video clips that can help you help your child from Dr. Robert Brooks who talks about "Islands of Competence" and the need to celebrate and reinforce of them. Richard Lavoi then has another video clip about making sure that your child gets enough poker chips for the game of life.

In this interview hosted by Joe Spataro, the authors discuss their ideas on ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, homeschooling, afterschooling as well as an easy to follow way to assess your child. This book challenges the assumption at the heart of the traditional school system: that all children learn (and therefore should be taught) in the same way. The book contains a step-by-step program of self awareness test that guide you to a better understanding of your child’s unique strengths and weaknesses. Normally, these tests would cost hundreds of dollars, but now you can do it yourself and help your child achieve a better inner peace while helping them achieve their goals and fulfill their interests.
