Amistad Press Broken: Transforming Child Protective Services--Notes of a Former Caseworker
"It's an invaluable insider account of a pressing social issue." - Publishers Weekly Joining the ranks of Evicted and The New Jim Crow, a former caseworker's searing, clear-eyed investigation of the child welfare system--from foster care to incarceration--that exposes the deep-rooted biases shaping the system, witnessed through the lives of several Black families.

Harper Paperbacks The Kazdin Method for Parenting the Defiant Child: With No Pills, No Therapy, No Contest of Wills
From Alan E. Kazdin, a Yale University psychology and child psychiatry professor, The Kazdin Method for Parenting the Defiant Child is a lifesaving, evidence-based parenting handbook for parents of children who are occasionally, or too often, "out of control." Most child-behavior books are filled with advice that sounds reasonable, fits with what parents already believe about child-rearing, and is -- as Dr. Kazdin proves -- guaranteed to fail. The Kazdin Method for Parenting the Defiant Child makes available to parents for the first time Dr. Kazdin's proven program for child behavior management -- one backed up by some of the most long-term and respected research devoted to any therapy for children. Kazdin shatters decades' worth of accumulated myths about managing tantrums, time-outs, punishments fitting the crime, and much more. With the practicality of Ferber and the warmth of Brazelton, Kazdin leads parents through every step of the Kazdin Method in action, including the core principles of positive reinforcement -- how to use tone of voice, when and how to touch, how to lead your child in a "practice" session, how to adjust your approach for different-age children, how to involve siblings, and more. The program is temporary, but the results are permanent -- for very young children, adolescents, and even beyond.

Hoggatt Consulting Summer's School
The world promotes the lie that the wounded have little to offer. Individuals with Disabilities, children in the US foster care system, or individuals (or families) navigating loss are often sidelined by a culture that finds little room for these individuals or their contributions. Summer Joy has experienced loss, abuse, and the marginalization that is far too often associated with carrying a label of disability. Yet, she proclaims that God is a Healer. God is a redeemer. Her life, now at fifteen, is one that proclaims that God is a God of healing, redemption, and purpose. This book is an attempt to provide insight into some lessons God has taught through Summer's life of faith. This book is for those who make their home alongside those the world so often neglects. This is a book about hope. This is a book about what God can, and will, do. As Paul reminds us: "There's more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience, in turn, forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary-we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!"

Penguin Publishing Group Born Extraordinary: Empowering Children with Differences and Disabilities
A parent's guide to empowering children to embrace their visible and invisible differences Meg Zucker was born with one finger on each hand, shortened forearms, and one toe on each misshapen foot, caused by a genetic condition called ectrodactyly. She would eventually pass this condition on to her two sons, and, along with her husband, raise them and their adopted daughter, who has her own invisible differences. Born of the family's hard-won experiences, this book offers invaluable advice on raising confident, empathetic, and resilient children who succeed, not despite but because of their differences. Born Extraordinary helps parents of children with differences and disabilities to relinquish their instinctive anxieties, embrace their new normal, and ultimately find joy in watching their children thrive. Often the subjects of unwanted attention--ranging from pitying stares to bullying--Zucker and her sons have learned to ignore what others think and live fearlessly. Also incorporating the stories of other families with visible and invisible differences of all kinds, Born Extraordinary gives parents the tools to meet their children's emotional needs while supporting the whole family unit. Parents learn how best to empower their children to confront others' assumptions, grow in confidence, and encourage dialogue--rather than silence, fear, and shame--around difference.

William Morrow & Company The Sensory-Sensitive Child: Practical Solutions for Out-Of-Bounds Behavior
In a book likely to transform how parents manage many of their child's daily struggles, Drs. Smith and Gouze explain the central and frequently unrecognized role that sensory processing problems play in a child's emotional and behavioral difficulties. Practicing child psychologists, and themselves parents of children with sensory integration problems, their message is innovative, practical, and, above all, full of hope. A child with sensory processing problems overreacts or underreacts to sensory experiences most of us take in stride. A busy classroom, new clothes, food smells, sports activities, even hugs can send such a child spinning out of control. The result can be heartbreaking: battles over dressing, bathing, schoolwork, social functions, holidays, and countless other events. In addition, the authors say, many childhood psychiatric disorders may have an unidentified sensory component. Readers Will Learn: The latest scientific knowledge about sensory integration How to recognize sensory processing problems in children and evaluate the options for treatment How to prevent conflicts by viewing the child's world through a "sensory lens" Strategies for handling sensory integration challenges at home, at school, and in twenty-first century kid culture The result: a happier childhood, a more harmonious family, and a more cooperative classroom.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Stories of Autistic Joy
'I love that I don't need to feel ashamed at my happiest, and that my joy no longer needs to go through a filter before it's ready to see the light of day' Laura Kate Dale and 15 other autistic authors from around the globe, open the door and invite you in to explore and celebrate the candid, uplifting and intimate moments of autistic joy. More often than not autism is viewed through the lens of struggles and challenges - Stories of Autistic Joy is here to shift that narrative and turn the spotlight onto the unique joys that shape autistic people's lives. Joy comes in all shapes and sizes: loving relationships, fantasy writing, building soft forts, echolalia, peaceful solitude, Pokemon, stimming freely and unmasking for the first time. So, step inside and explore the diverse and heart-warming stories from around the world and celebrate what makes experiencing autistic joy so special.
