A quirky child experiences difficulty fitting in and connecting with
others usually due to an interpersonal style or behavior that stands out
from the other kids. Maybe they are obsessed with a topic of interest or
spend excessive hours a day reading, playing video games, or playing
with just one toy. These kids are not so far afield as to fall on the
autism spectrum, but they are unique, and their behaviors are not
addressed in typical parenting books.
This book defines quirky markers and offers strategies for parents to
understand their children's brains and behaviors; to know what is
developmentally appropriate, and what isn't; to understand how to reach
their kids; and to help facilitate their social functioning in the
world.
It will calm the hearts and minds of parents who worry that their child
doesn't fit in and offer hope to parents who need strategies to support
their quirky child's overall development.
