Coping with Tourette Syndrome: A Workbook for Kids with Tic Disorders

My 12 year old son read through it. He didn't work on the worksheets but he said that the information was helpful. I don't put a ton of pressure on him regarding his TS diagnosis. He's more than just the kid with TS. It's his to address as he sees fit, and this book is a great tool in his arsenal. I'm not going to stand over him and make him fill out worksheets, but that doesn't make the book less valuable. I'm pretty sure he answered the questions in his head, which is the whole point, right? Great book.

My 11 year old son who has Tourette's said it is an awesome book! I guess he would know better than I. So, coming from an 11 year old male who reads 500 page books in two days, says it was awesome & helpful, can only be 5 stars in my book.

I used many of the activities and pages from this workbook when I was working with a first grade student with a suspected tic disorder. It helped to teach him about his body and the kind of control he can learn to have over his body.

My 7 year old was recently diagnosed with TS and this book is perfect. There are plenty of activities for her to do to help her work through some of the emotions she is dealing with and it has pieces that are great for myself and my husband to learn how to deal with her TS. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a child with TS or personally has TS.

This is an excellent book for kids with TS. Just looking through it I knew that this would be something positive for me son. He will not want to write in the answers but they are well worded for verbal communication. The coloring and activity pages are short and simple to keep kids engaged for just the right amount of time.

Helpful for therapists and parents

A little young for the premises. I was hoping it could help my son who is a teenager.

This book is amazing. It has truly helped our family to more fully understand TS. This book has helped our son to feel a part of a community instead of being an outsider in a "normal world" Thank you so much.

Very useful book helped me understand my son, how to help him

Highly practical and inspirational workbook. We saw its effects on our son after 3-4 months.

this book is awesome my grandson is working it now he is so happy there is other kids like himself and that people writing the book get it

My son has Tourettes and the tics that he has were non stop. This book is a fantastic, therapeutic way of working with your child. It is in sections and gives a brief story from a child with TS perspective as to how they cope with their type of tic or verbalisation. It means that the information is coming from fellow sufferers and children and not from professionals telling your child "how it is". The book prepares your child and helps them cope. Id recommend this for anyone, especially if your child is struggling to come to terms with their condition. Well done Sandra Buffolano

This wasn’t what I expected and I feel it’s aimed at slightly younger children. My son is 15 and not much good
