Bringing Up a Challenging Child at Home : When Love is Not Enough Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Chrissy is Jane Gregory's oldest child, an attractive girl with a tremendous sense of fun.

She also exhibits behaviour which other people find challenging - screaming fits, stripping off her clothes, violent outbursts and self-mutilation.

It was apparent from an early age that Chrissy had a learning disability, and subsequently as an adult she was diagnosed with a rare chromosome disorder and autism. In Bringing Up a Challenging Child at Home, Jane Gregory describes her life with Chrissy candidly and pragmatically.

She relates her struggles to cope with Chrissy's difficult behaviour, the effects on the rest of the family, and her attempts to understand the reasons behind it.

Offering practical advice for other parents, she explains how she got the right support and effective treatment.

Her story provides professionals as well as parents with a unique insight into what it is like to bring up a complex and challenging child.
