It’s time to say NO to trying to fit square-peg kids into rounds holes, and YES to raising them from a place of acceptance and joy. Today millions of kids are stuck in a world that doesn’t embrace who they really are. They are the one in five “differently wired” children with ADHD, dyslexia, giftedness, autism, anxiety, or other neurodifferences, and their challenges are many. And for the parents who love them, the challenges are just as numerous, as they struggle to find the right school, the right support, the right path. But now there’s hope. Differently Wired is a revolutionary book—weaving together personal stories and a tool kit of expert advice from author Deborah Reber, it’s a how-to, a manifesto, and a reassuring companion for parents who can so often feel that they have no place to turn. At the heart of Differently Wired are 18 paradigm-shifting ideas—what the author calls “tilts,” which include how to accept and lean in to your role as a parent (#2: Get Out of Isolation and Connect). Deal with the challenges of parenting a differently wired child (#5: Parent from a Place of Possibility Instead of Fear). Support yourself (#11: Let Go of Your Impossible Expectations for Who You “Should” Be as a Parent). And seek community (#18: If It Doesn’t Exist, Create It). Taken together, it’s a lifesaving program to shift our thinking and actions in a way that not only improves the family dynamic, but also allows children to fully realize their best selves. “In this generous and urgent book, Deborah Reber lets the light in. She helps parents see that they’re not alone, and even better, delivers a positive action plan that will change lives.”—Seth Godin, author of Linchpin “Differently Wired will help parents of children who think differently to accept their child for who they are and facilitate their successful development.”—Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures and The Autistic Brain

Preschool is a time of wonder when curiosity, development, and learning intersect. While the new sights, routines, and experiences can make preschool exhilarating, what about children who struggle? Perhaps they exhibit odd behaviors: chewing on clothing, covering their ears, avoiding certain textures, refusing to sit with peers, screaming when frustrated, hitting, kicking, or biting. Wired Differently will help you to decode what may seem like everyday challenging behaviors. It's possible that these children are struggling with sensory processing disorder (SPD). - Differentiate between everyday challenging behaviors, and those that could signify something much more - Understand what sensory processing disorder (SPD) is and how it can interfere with a child's learning - Learn how to include sensory processing strategies as part of a typical classroom routine, and why they're important for all children - Effectively communicate with families about SPD behaviors and helpful learning techniques

In this sequel to Wired Differently, Todd Saylor shares how a near-fatal head-on collision brought an epiphany that all was not right in his world. Saylor realized that the very traits that led him to epic gains could also lead to epic failure. In a moment of self-reflection and clarity, Saylor discovered that even for those of us who are Wired Differently, it was possible to drift back toward the Land of Quo-that dangerous state of mediocrity-because of a new trait he identifies as DriftAgain. This discovery prompted Saylor on an intellectual quest to analyze and understand DriftAgain, deconstruct its underlying components and explain that the same traits that make us a success can also be our biggest obstacles in life. Moreover, he shows us how to overcome what may be holding us back by confronting our faults and turning them into Supremely Purposeful assets. A man of faith, an accomplished businessman, and a devoted father, Saylor shares his insights through poignant essays and candid parables that illuminate how these traits manifest themselves in our lives. Saylor's inspiring advice and stories will challenge you into action and provide tools to keep yourself motivated and mindful of our propensity to DriftAgain. Join Todd Saylor in this ongoing Wired Differently odyssey toward greater success and purposeful living. Stop drifting, start achieving.
