When Learning Is Hard

The Book Every Parent Needs.

More children than ever have learning difficulties, and more parents than ever feel overwhelmed. After waiting months, sometimes years, for answers and navigating a mountain of conflicting advice, many families are left wondering why their child is finding school so hard, and what they can do to help.

Now, for the first time, paediatrician Dr Lexi Frydenberg and child psychologist Deirdre Brandner bring together decades of experience across medicine, child development, psychology and education to provide the trusted guide parents have been searching for.

From recognising the early signs, through to diagnosis and strategies, When Learning Is Hard provides a practical roadmap for families navigating their child's learning difficulties. Whether your child has a diagnosed learning disorder or is simply falling behind, this book helps you understand what is happening, what to do next and how to move forward with confidence.
