"Every child feels like a social outcast at times -- we all have, it’s a badge of growing up. But for some children, a host of factors lead to longer periods of exclusion. It’s heartbreaking to watch but now, renowned education, social skills and ADHD expert, Caroline Maguire, offers clear guidance and support so you can help your child turn things around fast -- even in just a few weeks. Bringing together a decade of work with families dealing with chronic social dilemmas, you’ll discover how to use Caroline’s highly effective Play Better Plan to help your child thrive again. Through a series of social strategies and skills including how to target behaviours for change, understanding how children learn and how to choose alternative behaviours, you’ll discover how you can be the best coach for your child and quite literally help them change their life."-Google Books.
