Actually, You're Fine ebok

Clinical neuropsychologist and child development expert Dr. Katie Davis offers a new approach to child development that calls for a paradigm shift in how we conceptualize and support neurodevelopment. Offering actionable insights, Actually You're Fine guides parents through conversations at home with their teens and preteens, and shows how to advocate for them at school and foster their potential everywhere else.

Starting from the point of 'what's normal, anyway?' there is practical support in this book at every level for any parent worried about their child's development. It explains the assessment process and helps you understand symptoms more effectively so you can make a decision about diagnosis. It gives insight into all the cognitive processes in your child's brain, helping you to understand what might and what might not be problematic. When is 'fine' actually 'not fine at all', and what can you do to help?

Most importantly, Actually You're Fine will help you to find balance in an all-or-nothing world, and to reclaim the narrative that your child is perfectly okay as they are - without the need to drive toxic levels of over-achievement.
