Parents raising a child with special needs want to equip their
child with the skills and abilities necessary to live the most
independent life possible. But actually accomplishing this can be
difficult. Learning to empower a child with strength, dignity,
responsibility, and independence is a daunting task for parents
struggling to understand and cope with the special needs of their
child. In Empowering Your Child Who Has Special Needs, Debbie
Goodwin helps parents identify enabling or guilt-based attitudes
and actions that trap the child and themselves in unhealthy
co-dependencies. As the mother of a daughter with special needs,
she understands first-hand the struggles and frustration that come
with this unexpected responsibility. Based on the belief that God's
truth is a freeing reality, Goodwin develops empowering strategies
to help parents actualize God's plan for them and their child.
Empowering Your Child Who Has Special Needs invites the parents of
children with special challenges to make the journey to discover
how God's plan will 'give you hope and a future.'
A Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE) teacher and student of
pioneering child specialist Magda Gerber, Janet Lansbury helps parents
look at the world through the eyes of their infants and relate to them
as whole people who have natural abilities to learn without being
taught. Once we are able to view our children in this light, even the
most common daily parenting experiences become stimulating
opportunities to learn, discover, and connect with our child.
A collection of the most-read articles from Janet's popular and
long-running blog, Elevating Child Care focuses on common infant
issues, including:
- Nourishing our babies' healthy eating habits
- Calming your clingy, fearful child
- How to build your child's focus and attention span
- Developing routines that promote restful sleep
Eschewing the quick-fix tips and tricks of popular parenting culture,
Lansbury's gentle, insightful guidance lays the foundation for a
closer, more fulfilling parent-child relationship, and children who
grow up to be authentic, confident, successful adults.
