Product Description
Product Description
At least one child in five experiences some form of learning difficulty, however, learning difficulties as we understand them do not exist--they are not diseases, just symptoms. These symptoms never appear alone and are treatable and avoidable. Here, an expert in child neurology approaches learning difficulties of childhood--including dyslexia, ADD, OCD, ADHD, dyspraxia and Tourette's syndrome--from a truly groundbreaking perspective. All human babies are born prematurely and develop special, new brain cells four months after birth. Every human's development in the womb and particularly in these early stages of life can, therefore, be affected by developmental delay, which can blight childhood and marginalize a child at school. Since our brains continue to grow, however, the symptoms can also be treated. This book explains the background to human developmental delay and offers advice on how to get the best assessment for your child and an explanation of what the examination must include; the effects--good and bad--of certain foods on the brain; exercises and computer programs that you can use to expand your child's neural function; and case histories of children on whom this plan has worked. In the single biggest breakthrough in the history of learning difficulties, this guide explains the cause of developmental delay syndromes using simple, easy-to-follow tips to show how to greatly reduce the risk of a child suffering from them, and gives advice on what can be done to treat those children that do.
From the Author
Although primarily written for the parents of children with learning/behavioural difficulties and educators, this book is a must for every parent and would-be parent. Why? Because it brings together a host of research to form a theory that is truly ground-breaking. This book will change your child’s life. Is That My Child? explains why every human baby is born prematurely by months, how four months after birth a second-wave of brain cells develop and how if these cells under-function, learning and behavioural difficulties will result. This book also states boldly that dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADD, ADHD, OCD and Tourette’s of childhood simply do not exist. That is, they do not exist in isolation as they are only symptoms of this underlying problem and are not conditions in their own right. The good news for every concerned parent is that the discovery of bpoptosis – the name I have given to the development and maturation of the second-wave of brain cells – means!

Format:Paperback
I was really excited by the first third of this book. It seemed to have a fresh angle on Dyslexia and promised that a few relatively simple exercises could make a huge difference to child with Dyslexia. Wow I thought, read on lets get to some action.... but after that, the book became highly repetitive and self absorbs. There was a large section on diet and recipes which I didn't need because I already feed my children a healthy diet and next to nothing on the miraculous exercises that the author claims are so effective in his clinic. A real let down. I would recommend you don't waste your money on this book.

We paid outrageous sums to private school to get our son the LSU that
this school provided but at the end of his first year there our son
was 36th out of 36 in his class.
We endeavoured - but the one change we did make was going to Robin
Pauc and following the exercises and the diet (to a lesser degree)
that he prescribed. That was THE change. Everything else was
constant. At the end of the next year our son was 10th out of 33 in
the class.
This works - these people reviewing it as quackery would do
better trying it.

I bought the book in summer 2006 after having looked at a number of avenues. My child was borderline ADHD so the NHS said. I read the book and started implementing the strategies that Dr Pauc recommended. We noticed a slight change. I then contacted Tinsley House Clinic and arranged for an assessment. Cut a long story short we are now 4 months into the programme and I cannot believe the child in front of my eyes. He\is calm relaxed, communicating as a 10 year old should, energetic and no longer fighting against us. I was a sceptic before, but my goodness what results expert support, guidance and determination can do. Good luck to all those out there who are faced with ADD and ADHD.
