Have you ever wondered what it is you were doing so wrong? Other parents seem to have it all figured out, so why is your child running amok and wreaking havoc everywhere they go? You're not alone Kylie Abecca was often labelled a 'problem child', she was loud with no social filter, got bored easily and had an abundance of energy. After visits with childhood Psychologists, behavioural therapists and an endless list of other professionals Kylie was diagnosed with countless problems, from learning disorders and ADHD, to eye site problems, Epilepsy and more. It was suggested to her mother that Kylie be 'put into care and forgotten about', however Kylie's mum refused to believe her daughter was a lost cause and instead faced the challenge of raising her daughter head on.
