Join Ted Hicks as he moderates the #LNPShow that discusses today's current events, social topics & raising kids in this current time.

In My Child’s Different, parenting expert, Elaine Halligan shares the true story of her son Sam, who by the age of seven had been excluded from three schools and was later labelled with a whole host of conditions – ranging from autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) to pathological demand avoidance (PDA), before finally being diagnosed with dyslexia. Sam became ‘the alphabet kid’, but his family never gave up on him.

Drawing lessons from Sam’s journey from difficult child to budding entrepreneur, Elaine explore​s​ the role parents can play in unlocking the potential of children who are seen as ‘different’ or ‘difficult’.
