About this ebook
When letters don’t seem to make sense to a child, when he squirms in his seat and can hardly sit still, and when he has difficulty in communicating or may have an ‘unacceptable’ habit, what do we do?
Indira Roy Mandal, specialising in child psychology, addresses some of these sensitive issues and goes an extra mile to help parents, caregivers and teachers to think about these challenges dealing with childhood disorders as well as accepting them. ‘Catch them young and seek help at the earliest’ is her mantra. Many such stories in the book may be your story. We need to assure ourselves that the road begins from here and it is a journey of self-realization and learning.
During the pandemic-induced lockdown times, it is the children who are the worst hit and suffer silently, emoting behind their gadgets. Depression, suicidal ideations, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders are on the rise.
The author provides certain pointers on how to keep up with the child’s mental as well as physical state, to help them evolve as well-balanced, socially productive and responsible individuals.
