Of Different Minds by Maren Angelotti is a heartfelt and informative guide for parents of children with learning differences, particularly those with ADD/ADHD and dyslexia. Drawing on her personal experiences as a mother and her expertise in multisensory teaching, Maren encourages parents to approach these challenges with love, faith, and understanding.
The book covers a wide range of topics, including understanding learning differences, managing behavior, navigating adolescence, and balancing educational and family dynamics. With insights rooted in Scripture and practical advice, Maren empowers parents to see difficulties as opportunities for growth, helping them support their children's success while addressing misconceptions and fears surrounding learning differences.
“I have written this book to encourage and educate parents as they begin or continue their journey down a winding road. The best antidote to the negativity that can permeate the AD/HD mind is love.”
