No Manual? No Problem! Strategies and Interventions to Help Your Child Thrive in Today’s World is an essential book for parents who are looking for proven solutions for the many challenges that kids face today.

With over 60 years of combined experience in education, teaching and parenting, Monica Reinhard-Gorney and Perk Musacchio offer a comprehensive resource for parents that explains how children develop at all stages and provides progressive research on child and brain development.

The authors identify common “culprits,” such as poor diet, too much screen time and lack of play, which can inhibit healthy social, behavioral and physical growth and development. To combat these culprits, they reveal over 100 safe, drug-free interventions and strategies backed by science to encourage the body and brain to perform optimally, and even show the potential to improve symptoms of ADD/ADHD, fine and gross motor deficits, and other learning disabilities. Shared alongside this information are personal accounts of successful implementation of the various strategies and interventions.

In addition, the book brings to light why some parenting styles are effective while others fall short, helping you to cultivate and nurture a parenting style that works best for you and your child.

No Manual? No Problem! empowers you to take an active role in your child’s development at all stages so that your child can reach his or her full potential.
