The 'Revolting Child-A Blessing in Disguise' is our family's story written with passion and total openness and honesty. We have shared our story to help others that may also be going through similar challenges but also to educate everyone that has relationships with children; parents, cares, teachers- anyone that deals with children.
How does the “worst child in a vice principal’s teaching career”go from an aggressive, out of control child labelled with ‘ADHD’ to writing the forward for a parenting book?
When a child or teenager ‘revolts*’ many parents are lost, confused, frightened and frustrated.
*Revolt means: ‘to treat someone with coldness, indifference and discourtesy’, to ‘adamantly resist authority’, ‘to oppose or refuse to accept something’, ‘an act of protest or rejection’
How do they help themselves AND their child? “The Revolting Child – A Blessing in Disguise”explores the world of tackling ADHD/ODD without drugs and takes readers on a journey inside a family facing challenges of this debilitating illness.
In the forward of “The Revolting Child – A Blessing in Disguise”, Caleb, now 16, says, “If I could help one family have the transformations we have had, I’d be happy”
“The Revolting Child – A Blessing in Disguise” explores-

•  The rollercoaster ride of life with an ADHD/ODD child

•  The shock of the cold, indifferent, discourteous, aggressive, totally uncooperative teenager
  

•  How without prescription medication this family restored balance and harmony

• The hope that all parents can hold onto as they come out of the dark tunnel of this condition

“I have just finished reading your amazing new book "The revolting Child"- I'm still wiping my tears away now.

It has to be the best book I've ever read and I can't believe how much I truly feel in tune with your family.

I really can't tell you how much I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge and how important it has been to my family and now the other families that I'm sharing it with.” Kelly Fletcher

 

“Last night I read Caleb's foreword from your new book.  I was so moved by his words.  Congratulations Caleb. Your words inspired me more as a parent than any other parenting book I have read (and there are a few....).

 You should all be proud of yourselves as a family who are constantly trying to do the best possible and inspire and help others like myself in the process.”   Nicole Everett
