A CHAMPION SPEAKS BOOK REVIEWS
This book stands out as an incredibly powerful and inspiring story, chronicling a mother’s extraordinary journey raising her neurodivergent child. Eniola shares her experiences of resilience, courage, consistency, and perseverance as she celebrates each milestone her child achieves, no matter how small. Her message is clear: societal labels and stereotypes must be set aside in favour of nurturing, teaching, and trusting children with special needs to master skills in their own time. Her story is a testament to the boundless potential of love, patience, and intentional teaching.
The book is thoughtfully divided into two parts, making it both accessible and impactful. The first part recounts the emotional journey of her son’s birth and early years, filled with uncertainty, challenges, and hope. The second part focuses on the practical steps Eniola took to help her son achieve milestones that once seemed out of reach. She combines her personal story with practical insights, offering not only guidance but also emotional encouragement to parents who may feel isolated or overwhelmed.
For professionals such as educators, therapists, and healthcare workers, this book offers a valuable glimpse into the realities faced by families, fostering greater empathy and a deeper understanding of how to collaborate effectively. It challenges professionals to see beyond diagnoses and work hand-in-hand with parents to help neurodivergent children unlock their full potential.
For society as a whole, the book is a timely reminder of the importance of inclusion and understanding. It urges readers to reject outdated stereotypes and appreciate the unique strengths and contributions of neurodivergent individuals. By focusing on progress rather than perfection, Eniola’s story inspires a shift in how we view and support diversity in all its forms.
Ultimately, this book bridges crucial gaps – between families and professionals, between understanding and misunderstanding, and between societal expectations and the realities of raising a neurodivergent child. Full of raw emotion, determination, and practical wisdom, it is not only a roadmap for parents but also an essential resource for anyone seeking to build a more compassionate, informed, and inclusive world.. ”. – LIBERTY GOROMONZI
