The authors, a married couple of 45 years, offer experience, practical insight and what they learned from counselors, research and their own mistakes to assist people coping with children and adults who are affected by ADHD. Sharing their personal life challenges with the effects of ADHD, this is a real, sometimes painful, story written to help families recognize and navigate to controlling chaos and unlocking the gifts of ADHD in their children and themselves. "We were struggling to make it and created codependency and unhealthy enabling habits. What we did, and what we didn't do, to help our sons didn't work, many times. The behaviors simply continued and morphed. If we had it to do all over again, we would have done things better and differently. We feel that other parents, by walking with us through our journey, will gain strength and courage to move from frustration to stabilizing behaviors and living resiliently."

Katherine Guzman Helping Your Anxious Child: Fight Fears, Overcome Worries, and Cope with Anxiety in Kids
All children have fears but not all have anxieties. Time for you, as a parent, to learn how to deal with those anxieties. Being afraid of the dark is a very common fear among children. Even adults jump at shadows-ever watched a horror movie and tried to get a glass of water in dim light? From bugs to darkness to strange phenomena, children are afraid of the unknown. They have no reference point to explain these new stimuli, and they turn to the most basic instinct of human nature: fight-or-flight. Childhood fears are definitely concerning for any parent to deal with. However, things take an even more worrying turn when children have to battle the extreme. In other words, what do you do when children refuse to take part in school activities, show no enthusiasm for all the activities they normally love to do, have frequent stomach aches, or become withdrawn and irritable? The answers lie in Katherine Guzman's new book that focuses on children's anxieties. Helping Your Anxious Child is Katherine's attempt to demystify anxiousness in children, so that parents can finally bring to light the overall problem. No more do parents have to constantly question the nature of their children's behavior. After all, knowledge truly is power. In your hands, you now have the power to understand more about anxiety in children.

A heartwarming, intimate, and amusing memoir of a father's experience raising his autistic son. When Tom Fields-Meyer's son Ezra was three and showing early signs of autism, a therapist suggested that the father needed to grieve. "For what?" Tom asked.

Future Horizons What Really Works for Children with Autism
What Really Works for Children with Autism aims to be a guide for anyone who has a child with autism, as well as for educators and caregivers. Many difficulties for these children arise due to a lack of knowledge about exactly what autism is and what its consequences are. This book provides detailed information about: What autism is and what the 10 most important needs of these children are. How you can support them in their sometimes strange or difficult behavior. How to deal with this as a (grand)parent, teacher, therapist, or supervisor. When you get to know the specific characteristics, abilities, challenges and needs of a child with autism better, you will see their behavior in a different light. Knowing how their brain works and what their real needs are will give you a deeper understanding of why things can be difficult for them and you. What Really Works for Children with Autism also helps you to develop strategies that will create positive moments at home or in the classroom, so that autistic children can develop meaningful relationships with with the important people in their lives.
