Genius!
Nurturing the Spirit of the Wild, Odd, and
Oppositional Child
Revised
Edition
“A rare and precious gift to all those working with
neurologically challenged children.” Dr. Gabor Mate In this book, George Lynn
collaborates with Joanne Barrie Lynn to answer two questions often asked by
parents of wild, odd, and oppositional children: “Can a child like mine grow
up to realize his gifts?” And, “What can I do to
move my child toward the fulfillment of his unique potential?” Highlights: Ø Shows
how the most disturbing behaviors of children and adolescents often point
directly to their talents. Ø Provides a map for identifying the unique genius of the
child apart from his symptoms. Ø Gives parents of children diagnosed with Tourette
syndrome, Bipolar Disorder, AD/HD, and Asperger’s syndrome, a “Field of
Nurturing”; a practical plan for evoking the good
(not the evil) genius in their kids. Ø Shows parents how to stay healthy despite the enormous stress
they experience every day. Ø Lists three qualities that are seen in the lives of
the most hardy and most effective parents he knows. Throughout the book Joanne Barrie Lynn weaves poems and anecdotes about
the authors’ son Gregory, diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome and
high-functioning autism. Joanne’s
contribution grounds the book in the reality of the fact that children with
these diagnoses bring both joy and sorrow to our lives and the process
changes us. Listen to George
