Shake, Rattle, and Rock: Helping Children Understand the Challenges of Having a Loved One with Tardive Dyskinesia - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

This children’s book helps young people better understand tardive dyskinesia (TD), a movement disorder caused by prescription medications. This charming story helps children understand why their loved one with TD is making unusual movements or expressions that may lead them or their friends to feel uncomfortable. According to a leading doctor in the field, this book, "Shake, Rattle, and Rock," teaches children about their loved one’s unique condition so they can continue to share special moments with them:

"Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is frightening for all - people afflicted with it and their loved ones - especially children or grandchildren. Such children can be frightened, confused, and sadly sometimes ashamed of their loved one’s involuntary movements. Until now, we have had no means of educating children about TD and giving them support. Good news - we now have such a resource! Published by the National Organization for Tardive Dyskinesia, this children’s book provides an easily readable, spot-on accurate, and beautifully illustrated story targeted at the most ignored segment of our population, the children. I most highly recommend it and would love for this book to be widely distributed and utilized."
