Written specifically for siblings of children with Tourette Syndrome
(TS), Why Do You Do That? is an age-appropriate source of information
for children and adolescents aged 8 to 16.
Uttom Chowdhury and Mary Robertson describe tics and Tourette's in
clear, child-friendly terms and provide a simple explanation of the
biological causes. Other chapters focus on living with someone who has
TS, associated features such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder and aggression, and what siblings can do
to help. The authors also offer practical tips on how to deal with
issues such as problems at school and bullying.
This book will prove invaluable for brothers and sisters of children
with TS, as well as parents and other family members.
