Differently Wired: A Parent’s Guide to Raising an Atypical Child with Confidence and Hope [Reber, Deborah] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Differently Wired: A Parent’s Guide to Raising an Atypical Child with Confidence and Hope

Review: Must-read for twice-exceptional families, for your spirit as much as your parenting - It's like Debbie wrote this book just for my family and I know so many other parents will feel the same. Having navigated three schools by the time we ended first grade (a neighborhood school, a highly-capable program, and a thankfully short stint in a contained classroom for "social-emotional learning"), Debbie's similar experience in attempting to find a school fit for her own child several years older than my own was incredibly validating, and her guidance is invaluable as the search for "fit" becomes a much larger task encompassing all aspects family life, community life, and outward. I have a huge stack of "should-read" books in my office that I've attempted to begin and stopped because it was too much work to glean too little helpful information. Debbie's book is the *only one* that I have literally gobbled and could not put down as every page felt relevant and truly compelling to read. Debbie is a leader in the paradigm shift that our twice exceptional families need so fervently as we navigate the many challenges of parenting without a roadmap for our exceptional young people. In reading an advance copy of the book a few weeks back, I realized that Debbie has provided us with an invaluable tool for navigating the murkier, emotional, gut-level decision making for our children. A process that is often lonely, isolated and confusing because conventional thinking on parenting and education do not apply, she shines a searchlight on. Her approach has echoed my own in finding that a positive, affirming approach goes so much further than the common behavioral approaches used in school and more traditional therapy which can be triggering and unhelpful for our kids. The message to lean-in and support our exceptional children's strengths while supporting them in other thoughtful ways is loud and clear and we'll be shouting from the rooftops to share all the goodness compiled in this book.
Review: Supportive and insightful - I'm not actually done with this book yet, but so far I've thoroughly enjoyed the content and have found it reassuring and helpful. There is a lot of information with mention of resources for further research on specific topics, and lots of tips regarding parenting approaches to possibly shift one's parenting style of an atypical child. In addition, I appreciate the focus towards embracing individuality in our kids and the encouragement of blocking out the judgement of others as a parent. Very affirming and supportive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must-read for twice-exceptional families, for your spirit as much as your parenting

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After years of consultations, I am so grateful to have found this!
*by R***A on April 18, 2023*

Reading this book and leaning into the community Debbie Reber has inspired with her honesty, integrity and wisdom has helped me more than anything else I have done in the past three years of struggling with the positive and negative intensity/challenging behaviors of my now 13 year old child. Her website and resources have become a daily practice for me. Her focused questions and reframing, and lens shifting, along with very practical advice for navigating through this overwhelming space continue to give me the hope and confidence I have been seeking to parent a child wired so differently from my other more neurotypical child. I am so grateful to her for writing the book and for all the energy, commitment, structure and support she provides with her ongoing podcasts, deep dives into specifics, book reading and parent support groups and advocacy in this space. Finally, I truly appreciate her openness and curiosity and her tone which is somehow deep and philosophical yet genuine and funny- and always compassionate and practical- all at the same time!
