Katie, a friend of mine, really knows firsthand about the problems with school curricula that do not take left-brain issues like the ones listed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.werecover.com\/blog\/cymbalta-withdrawal\/\">https:\/\/www.werecover.com\/blog\/cymbalta-withdrawal\/<\/a>,\u00a0 and alternate learning styles and social challenges into account; she is the mom of one such quirky child. She intelligently and sensitively raises all the right questions about how we need to accommodate square-peg kids and bring out the best in them. With chapters like, &#8220;Hindered by reform math and other trends,&#8221; and &#8220;Playdates, friends and family life,&#8221; and &#8220;Adrift in today&#8217;s classroom,&#8221; Katie really nails the topic of the odd, often gifted child who is misunderstood, and how to better understand him.<\/p>\n<p>What are you waiting for?
