From the Author
Although primarily written for the parents of children with learning/behavioural difficulties and educators, this book is a must for every parent and would-be parent. Why? Because it brings together a host of research to form a theory that is truly ground-breaking. This book will change your child’s life. Is That My Child? explains why every human baby is born prematurely by months, how four months after birth a second-wave of brain cells develop and how if these cells under-function, learning and behavioural difficulties will result. This book also states boldly that dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADD, ADHD, OCD and Tourette’s of childhood simply do not exist. That is, they do not exist in isolation as they are only symptoms of this underlying problem and are not conditions in their own right. The good news for every concerned parent is that the discovery of bpoptosis – the name I have given to the development and maturation of the second-wave of brain cells – means!
we now know what causes the symptoms and therefore can effectively treat any developmental delay.

Customer Reviews

IT WORKS- MY CHILD'S PROGRESS IS PROOF
We paid outrageous sums to private school to get our son the LSU that
this school provided but at the end of his first year there our son
was 36th out of 36 in his class.
We endeavoured - but the one change we did make was going to Robin
Pauc and following the exercises and the diet (to a lesser degree)
that he prescribed. That was THE change. Everything else was
constant. At the end of the next year our son was 10th out of 33 in
the class.
This works - these people reviewing it as quackery would do
better trying it.

Is That My Child? Review of book and programme
I bought the book in summer 2006 after having looked at a number of avenues. My child was borderline ADHD so the NHS said. I read the book and started implementing the strategies that Dr Pauc recommended. We noticed a slight change. I then contacted Tinsley House Clinic and arranged for an assessment. Cut a long story short we are now 4 months into the programme and I cannot believe the child in front of my eyes. He\is calm relaxed, communicating as a 10 year old should, energetic and no longer fighting against us. I was a sceptic before, but my goodness what results expert support, guidance and determination can do. Good luck to all those out there who are faced with ADD and ADHD.

Help for every parent - help for every child
This book is informative and interesting to read and I would recommend it to every parent or individuals who deal with children regularly, teachers, helpers, grandparents. It is so easy to 'label' children and having a daughter who has been 'labelled', it is wonderful to know that there are ways to help and encourage her to ensure that she can fulfil her true potential in the future. The 'science' bit of the book is easy to understand and the diet something we could all do with following. Read the pages regarding addictives and sweetners because you'll never view the list of ingredients on a food packet the same again. These are the sort of guidelines we should all follow. It takes a couple of days to read with a helpful menu and recipes included. Make your kids life happier.
