Description
Is your child bright but struggling at school and nothing you’ve tried seems to truly help?
Do you feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice about ADHD, autism, anxiety, dyslexia, or behavioural challenges?
Raising the Whole Child is a compassionate, science-based guide for parents, teachers, and caregivers supporting children who struggle with learning, behaviour, or emotional regulation, especially neurodivergent and sensitive children.
Written by paediatrician and integrative practitioner Eva Perez Visus, this book is grounded in over 40 years of clinical and educational experience, including work with families and schools in under-resourced communities. It blends conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary approaches to offer a calm, whole-child perspective on behaviour, learning, and emotional wellbeing.
A clear, whole-child approach that goes beyond labels
Unlike one-size-fits-all advice, Raising the Whole Child follows a three-part, systems-based framework:
1. Understand the root causes
Learn what conditions such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, anxiety, trauma, and oppositional behaviours truly are and how they affect the brain, emotions, and learning.
2. Strengthen the foundations
Discover practical, realistic strategies to support the essential pillars of health: nutrition, sleep, movement, play, emotional connection, and time in nature.
3. Explore a full, evidence-based toolkit
From medication and psychotherapy to mindfulness, yoga, nutraceuticals, aromatherapy, music therapy, and more. Understand what works, why it works, and how to choose wisely.
In this empowering guide, you will learn how to:
- Identify the root causes of challenging behaviours and respond with clarity and calm
- Rebuild emotional connections
- Strengthen emotional intelligence and mental resilience
- Understand how stress and trauma affect learning and how to reduce their impact
- Recognise common conditions influencing school performance and behaviour
- Plan a day structure which is supportive of his needs and reduces conflict
- Evaluate evidence-based interventions such as mindfulness, nutraceuticals, music or aromatherapy critically and confidently
- Make science-backed decisions that address root causes, not just symptoms
You’ll learn to think like a detective, understanding how sleep, nutrition, emotions, behaviour, and learning interact as one integrated system.
Raising the Whole Child does not promise quick fixes. Instead, it offers something more powerful: knowledge to help you create a personalised plan based on your child's unique needs, a realistic and compassionate roadmap.
Even if you’re exhausted, you’ll find small, sustainable steps you can begin today.
Bonus: Free Companion Workbook
