Make the family work

All children sometimes struggle to sit still and concentrate, adapt to new situations, control their emotions, or understand what others are thinking and feeling. But some children fail repeatedly, despite their efforts and desire to do so. Often, this ends in screaming, crying, or the child withdrawing into themselves. As parents, it pains us to see our child struggling. As adults, we have a responsibility to support our child, but how can we do this best?

The book “Simplifying Family Life” is a practical guide on how to simplify everyday life for your child or teenager at home. One of the most important keys to this simplification is helping the child understand what will happen, how, when, where, and why. Authors David Edfelt, Anna Siolund, Kaisa Jan, and Malin Reutersvard provide examples of how to visualize life through, for example, weekly schedules, to-do lists, and clear, step-by-step instructions.

The book “Simplifying Family Life” shows you how to use simple methods to make daily life easier for your child and give them a greater chance of success. It is based on scientifically proven parenting techniques and methods grounded in research. It is intended for you, the parent or caregiver of a child or teenager who faces more challenges than others.
