the Boy with Butterfly Mind

When Julie Crawford''s whirlwind four-year-old is kicked out of preschool, suspected of having ADHD - likely genetic - her husband moans from his recliner that ''even my genes are failures.'' At work, Julie is a high school math teacher who requires her students to solve complex problems. But faced with an unsafe daycare home and no other daycare openings, a husband who hates the idea of labeling their son as a ''problem,'' and a supervisor who''s angry at the amount of time she''s taking off school, she''s at a loss for how to come up with a solution to this particular dilemma. Julie''s struggle to help her son ultimately demands a number of mindset shifts: a willingness to become a student and ask for help, a humble acceptance of her errors, a burgeoning strength to reckon with a dominant father and retreating husband - and the self-confidence to trust her instincts when it comes to deciding on the best next steps for her son.
