Step by step and simple
When you’ve got your hands full trying to help your children/grandchildren and then have a kiddo with this diagnosis, searching all over for answers is energy and time we do not have.
I like that this book distills it all into one short and sweet spot. 50 pages, pictures, easy to read and focuses less on the theory and more on what is actually to be done!
Bonus, you can started as a family and resetting and rewiring is a whole lotta fun. Living room dance party anyone?
I feel like this is good self care for all of us, even without FND. So I like the family/community approach and resources.

Excellent info and lived the visuals. Would have loved more exercises using CBT and changing thought patterns.

While this book is designed for teens it can be helpful for parents, grandparents, children and friends to learn more about FND and things that can and may help alongside occupational therapy, Physio, speech therapy etc depending on symptoms the person is experiencing.
Filled with fun and practical things you can do to calm the nervous system and try to prevent symptoms eg breathing techniques, distraction, blowing bubbles, releasing tension.
