Murdoch Books acquires Sarah Hayden parenting book

Murdoch Books has acquired world rights to Parenting Different: How to Raise Your Neurodivergent Kids to Be Their Authentic, Awesome Selves by Sarah Hayden. Hayden is a social worker, parenting expert and mother of five, including Chloé Hayden, renowned actor and author of the bestselling Different Not Less.

‘We’re thrilled to publish Sarah’s groundbreaking book on parenting neurodivergent children and teens to be their best and most authentic selves,’ says Murdoch Books publisher Alexandra Payne. ‘Sarah has the professional expertise, personal experience and boundless enthusiasm to support parents of neurodivergent kids on their parenting journey. Her genuine warmth and reassurance shine through, and I know her approach will be absolutely life-changing for families.’

Hayden’s professional expertise focuses on neurodivergence, autism, ADHD and complex family dynamics. ‘As a social worker who speaks to parents and professionals about parenting neurodivergent kids every single day, I knew this book was something that was so desperately needed. I’ve written Parenting Different for every parent who wants to encourage and affirm their children for who they are, not who they’re meant to be.’ Hayden is neurodivergent herself, having been diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 48.

Parenting Different by Sarah Hayden will be published by Murdoch Books on 4 March 2025.
