I have made copies and done many of the activities with children. It is amazing how it helps a student to be able deal with what is going on within them selves and how they interact with others in the world. It was a huge self-esteem booster for the student to know what to say &/or do when tics occur. Adults who are unfamiliar with the disorder have told me that the child can control it when he/she wants to. This book helped raise awareness in others such as teachers and school staff who really did not understand. The `phases of the moon' was a tremendous help here because it gave a common language for the child, the teachers, and the parents. For example, if a child told his teacher that he was in a full moon everyone would know what that meant and how much help that child needed for that day. This book helped the child improve peer relationships by knowing and practicing what to say when tics occur. Other children were more accepting when they understood. I regularly recommend this book to parents whose child has been diagnosed Tourette Syndrome. It helps the whole family learn how to deal with it. And now teachers have started asking to buy a copy of it for their teams. Rating: 5 / 5 I work in a school district and have used this book extensively.
