Raising children and teens with special needs can be both extremely rewarding, and incredibly challenging and stressful.

In this ‘Bringing Out the Best in Children and Teens with Special Needs’ audiobook, Noël Janis-Norton, learning and behaviour specialist, shares proven parenting strategies that will guide your children to develop more mature habits.

You’ll also be encouraged by listening to parents describe their successes in using these techniques, for example to help their impulsive child develop self-control, or to help their easily frustrated child move through intense emotions more quickly and maturely.

Noël is the founder of a parenting programme called ‘Calmer, Easier, Happier Parenting’. Notice that the name of this programme is not ‘calm, easy, happy parenting’. That’s because nothing in life is just plain calm, easy and happy, at least not for long. There’s no magic wand that will take away the problems that come along with special needs. But parenting a child with special needs can definitely become calmer, easier and happier, and this audiobook will show you how.

In this audiobook you’ll learn simple strategies that will rapidly improve:

- Behaviour, cooperation and impulse-control

- Concentration, memory, organisation, coordination and learning

- Social skills and teamwork

- Transitions: moving more smoothly and more easily from one activity to the next

- The ability to handle frustration and disappointment more constructively

- Q&A with Noël

- Success stories from parents

These techniques are effective for a wide range of special needs, such as autism spectrum disorder, dyspraxia, attention problems, and other neuro-developmental issues.

“Our son was highly impulsive and aggressive, and the outbursts were almost non-stop. With these strategies he is a different child: willing, confident, and both his self-esteem and self-control have soared. We credit Noël with saving our son and our family.” - Kelly Goodwin, Los Angeles, USA
