It's every child's desire to be somebody. Yet millions of children are denied fulfillment of that expectation and find themselves aimlessly searching for any opportunity that can offer them hope of achieving that goal. "Becoming a Somebody" describes how individual limitations can intensify a challenged child's struggle for identity and affect the child personally and socially, restricting his or her chances of becoming that somebody he or she aspires to be. That dream doesn't need to fade away as long as the spark within the spirit of challenged children can be ignited, lighting the pathways of their impending journeys. However, with a majority of challenged children, those who constantly fail and eventually become so discouraged that they stop trying, that connection is faulty or disconnected. "Becoming a Somebody" provides the knowledge needed to make the necessary repairs. Author Myles J. Joyce draws on more than thirty-five years of working with challenged children and their families to help adults understand what is wrong and how best to fix it by spelling out what to nurture, how to encourage, and why this type of assisted guidance is needed. With the connection firmly in place, children who are constantly challenged or slowed by their handicapping conditions will not get lost in their quest for "Becoming a Somebody." | Becoming A Somebody by Myles Joyce, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
