{"product_id":"milla-reid-super-sydney-and-his-amazing-pals-9781916059306","title":"Super Sydney and his Amazing Pals","description":"Super Sydney is an adventurous little boy who has epilepsy and loves exploring with his pals, his sister Olivia and his dog Hamish. One day he `fell to the ground with a bang and a shake, his friends didn't know if he was asleep or awake.' The book contains basic guidance for a child who is with someone who has a seizure. Foreword: Sally-Ann Remnant, Epilepsy Nurse Consultant and Clinical Trainer 'For over 22 years I have been a nurse practitioner in Epilepsy care.I first met the author’s husband in my clinic in St Thomas’ Hospital, London; a very determined young man who never allowed his condition to hinder him; he stuck to his therapy, changed his lifestyle, and as time passed his seizures lessened. When children come along, as they have for this family, there is always an element of self-sacrifice and life changes beyond recognition. Parenting is difficult at the best of times but when faced with the unpredictability of epilepsy it becomes even more complex. Families naturally pull together to support each other; children often take on the role of “alert assistants” and on occasions “mini surrogate” parents. Children’s behaviour within these situations is well studied and most have agreed that children gain valuable skills of responsibility; important to set them up in their adult lives. When I heard that Milla was writing this book, I realised how beneficial it would be for siblings to have something that explains how to support a person in a convulsive seizure. It is written in such a way to put the child at ease and as something to be taken in their stride. The language is simple and fun and the illustrations draw you into the story. This book will equip a child with the “when” and “how” to be able to call emergency services and more importantly to stay with the person whilst the cavalry arrives. Children love responsibility and the rewards that follow.'","brand":"Superhero Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53803341807958,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781916059306_1.jpg?v=1781812222","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/milla-reid-super-sydney-and-his-amazing-pals-9781916059306","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
