Product Description

Product Description

At least one child in five experiences some form of learning difficulty, but: * Learning difficulties as we understand them DO NOT exist, * They are not diseases just symptoms, * These symptoms never appear alone, * They are treatable and avoidable. Dr Robin Pauc, an expert in child neurology, approaches learning difficulties, including Dyslexia, ADD, OCD, ADHD, Dyspraxia and Tourette's syndrome of childhood, from a truly ground-breaking perspective. All human babies are born prematurely and develop special new brain cells four months after birth. Every human's developement in the womb and particularly in these early stages of life can, therefore, be affected by devlepement delay, which can blight childhood and marginalize a child at school. Since our brains continue to grow, however, the symptoms can also be treated. Is That My Child? Explains the backround to human developmental delay and contains: * 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, * Excercises and computer programs that you can use to expand your child's neural function, * Case histories of children on whom this plan has worked. In the single biggest breakthorough in the history of learning difficulties, Is That My Child? explains the cause of Development Delay Syndromes, uses simple, easy-to-follow tips to show you how to greatly reduce the risk of your child suffering, 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!
we now know what causes the symptoms and therefore can effectively treat any developmental delay.

5.0 out of 5 stars IT WORKS- MY CHILD'S PROGRESS IS PROOF, 7 Jul 2006
By Casey Grady (new forest) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is That My Child? Review of book and programme, 26 Jan 2007
By Mrs. Karen Gray - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Help for every parent - help for every child, 4 Jul 2006
By R. Trundle (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is informative and interesting to read and I would recommend it to every parent or individuals who deal with children regularly, teachers, helpers, grandparents. It is so easy to 'label' children and having a daughter who has been 'labelled', it is wonderful to know that there are ways to help and encourage her to ensure that she can fulfil her true potential in the future. The 'science' bit of the book is easy to understand and the diet something we could all do with following. Read the pages regarding addictives and sweetners because you'll never view the list of ingredients on a food packet the same again. These are the sort of guidelines we should all follow. It takes a couple of days to read with a helpful menu and recipes included. Make your kids life happier.
