Caring for Yourself - Caring for Your Neurodivergent Child (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781961813809)

If you've ever flown on a commercial airliner and listened as a flight attendant walked passengers through the safety instructions, you will have heard something like this: "If we lose cabin pressure, oxygen masks will drop down. Before helping your child with his oxygen mask, please put yours on first."

There's a good reason for that. If you're not getting enough oxygen, it's hard to help anyone else put on his mask.

The same is true about parenting. Parental self-care is a crucial ingredient in providing a child with what he needs to be strong, healthy, and happy-especially if that child is neurodivergent.

In this book, counselor Diane Reid Lyon offers important information about neurodivergence and tips for how to care for your neurodivergent child-and take care of yourself at the same time.
