It is well known that children are the flowers of life, which are pleasant to admire, nurture, and cherish. But what if your "flower" turns out to be a prickly cactus? It has grown a spiky armor of thorns, does not allow touch, does not respond to care and affection, is aggressive, or on the contrary, withdrawn? And now your child is fighting, trying to deceive you, is glued to their phone, and you are simply powerless before their "I don't want - I won't" and have no idea what to do about it.
The book will tell you how to communicate, educate, and simply love a "prickly" child, considering various options for "problems" - from mild forms of ASD and developmental delays to difficulties faced by quite normative children: insecurity, burnout from school workload, and underachievement.
You will receive practical algorithms, checklists, observation diaries, exercises, and games that will help gently motivate and manage the behavior of your "cactus" child.
