"The pandemic struck and the world reacted as we collectively faced a large and dangerous unknown. These years of change and stress during childhood - a time of rapid growth and development, was the equivalent of pressing pause on critical aspects of our kids' development. The prolonged stress and change took a toll on us all, but especially on our kids. Back on Track is the book for every parent who has worried about their child and wondered if they are on-track and doing OK. This book promises to provide both an understanding and an action plan for parents to help their child find the best possible path forward to thrive, from the most qualified authority, a professional who develops and implements brain-based wellness programs for kids, adults and athletes, and is a mom herself. As an expert on the topic of development, Dr. Jackson has been a frequent media guest throughout the pandemic, answering questions on how to support kids through these tumultuous times. While other books on this topic focus on the impact the pandemic had on kids and coping strategies, Back on Track approaches the topics of attention, behavior, learning, socialization and wellbeing through the perspective of the brain. The mission of this book is to create hope and an action plan for all parents to get our kids back on track for the brightest future possible. No one escaped the pandemic unscathed, but we can make a difference for our kids. We can help get them back on track and get them moving forward"--,Provided by publisher.
