    About this ebook

    As an adult working with, or caring for, ‘difficult’ children, how can you change your approach to suit the differing learning and progression needs necessary to advance the children?

    Are Difficult Children Difficult, or Just Different? What if We Can Change to Help Them? is aimed at teachers, social workers, foster carers, adoptive parents, birth parents, medical professionals and any adult involved with young people who do not present in line with the majority of expected behaviours and traits regularly seen in children aged between 5 and 16 years old. This problem is growing and we need to adapt.

    Tried and tested strategies and real-life examples are described in detail to help you alter your approach, in lieu of attempting to change the brain pattern of the ‘difficult child’. Bringing them in line with more traditional methods that quite simply do not, will not and cannot work in the long term is not an option.

    It is a refreshing and positive approach that you will enjoy whilst you build and share improved strategies for dealing with and helping young people ‘outside the norm’ of traditional teaching and parenting styles.

    Author

    Mick Jewell

    Mick made the 'very simple decision' to completely change his professional focus eight years ago to predominantly work with children with behavioural issues following a long and successful career in high-end house design, project management and 5* commercial interior fit-out - post being forced to retire from professional football aged 19 through injury. He and his wife, Sian, have been foster carers with an ethical not-for-profit agency since 2006 and in January 2017, they designed and 'self-built' their own family home, completing the project in only 22 weeks. After joining their families in 2002, they turned towards caring for others, feel blessed and wish to share their strategies with all of you working with children.
