How to Make the Biggest Impact with a Book That Has an Important Message with Carol and Matthew Newell

Carol and Matthew Newell run the Family Hope Center. It's an organization that has so far supported over 20,000 families dealing with special needs children.

Carol and Matthew took some of the ideas they've refined throughout their careers and turned them into a book.

One of the key challenges they faced is having spent their entire careers as experts in their field, they found it hard to convey the knowledge they take for granted.

I've experienced reading books written by clinicians, and I appreciate that the books could often be challenging to read. I was struck by how accessible their new book, Healing Your Child's Brain, is.

I wanted to understand how they turned their expertise into something that parents can understand. It was interesting to hear how they didn't write the book to generate an income. Instead, they're doing it because of the message they want to share with parents.

 In this episode we discuss:

Their background and how they came to start The Family Hope CentreHow society forces people to be labeled disabledThe importance of making information easy for parents to understand.What is a neuroparent and how to become oneThe reasons behind them writing the bookHow they are getting the book into the hands of as many parents as possible
