An update to Susan Hughes acclaimed Ryan, A Mothers Story of her Hyperactive/Tourette Syndrome child. It covers the very difficult adolescent years - a period when he had to be placed in a residential treatment facility - and the subsequent period of returning home and pursuing a normal life following an excellent response to the right combination of medication, family and school support. This is a hair-raising and heart rendering story that should be read by everyone who has ever interacted with a difficult child.

Shows how to connect curriculum, ideas, and themes for all study areas; how to increase children''s fluency in writing and reading; how to use language in content areas such as science, social studies, and math; and how to organize and manage the integrated classroom.

Explains how to be an environmental detective by observing clues that reveal information about backyard ecosystems. Includes activities and space to write in observations.

Susan Hughes tells of her struggle with understanding Ryan''s unusual behaviors, of getting a diagnosis, and of struggling with her own feelings of guilt. Her message is written in the ultimately understandable language of parent to parent. Written so others need not feel so alone or struggle through so many years of uncertainty.
