â??One of the finest and most helpful books we have ever read . . . should be the first stop for any parent trying to help a struggling child.â? â??Brock Eide and Fernette Eide, authors of The Mislabeled ChildFinally, a positive approach designed around your childâ??s traits and needsMany children do things that seem odd, troubling, or excessive at some point in their development, and our culture is quick to attach a label to every child whoâ??s â??outside the boxâ? or hard to raise. Again and again, studies document the explosion in the number of children receiving psychiatric diagnoses for being intense, moody, or offbeat.
