The Child Who Reads the World Differently

Your child experiences the world differently from you, and it helps to find out how.

A two-minute read, three things to try.

Where to start

  • Adjust to your child’s differences gradually; don’t rush to correct them.
  • Ask once, openly: “Tell me what your brain is doing.”
  • Use what they tell you to change how the household works.

The rest of the tip, and why it works, is in the library.
