Description - Bringing Up a Challenging Child at Home by Jane Gregory
Chrissy was Jane Gregory's first child, attractive and with a tremendous sense of fun. She also exhibits behaviour which other people find challenging - screaming fits, stripping off her clothes, violent outbursts and self-mutilation. Although it was apparent from an early age that she had a learning disability, and subsequently that she suffered from a cyclical mental illness, Chrissy remains undiagnosed. In this book, the author describes her life with Chrissy candidly and pragmatically. She relates her struggles to cope with Chrissy's difficult behaviour, the effects on the rest of the family, and her attempts to understand the reasons behind it. Offering practical advice for other parents, she explains how she got the right support and effective treatment. Her story provides professionals as well as parents with an insight into what it is like to bring up a complex and challenging child.
