The highs, the lows and the delightfully neurospicy – this book is for every parent raising the ‘in-between’ children in a neurotypical world.
How many times have you heard ‘he doesn’t look autistic’ or ‘she seems fine to me’? Do you sometimes feel alone as a parent, like no one really gets it? And have you ever watched in horror as your child told a friend their house was ‘boring and smelly’?!
If any of that sounds familiar, it’s time to throw out the perfect parenting guides and join Lisa Lloyd on this rollercoaster journey of raising neurodivergent children who don’t fit the mainstream but aren’t considered ‘severe’ either. Lisa has been there and is ready to tell all – from the confusion of the early years and discovering your child is neurodivergent, to navigating a school system that doesn’t seem to fit, and the daily frustrations of picking your battles (and losing most of them).
Ever wondered what would happen if you took your autistic three-year-old on a haunted ghost ride? Or what your reaction would be if your seven-year-old grabbed a stranger’s backfat in the changing rooms? Wonder no more! Raising the SEN-Betweeners is a very honest guide for all those parents in similar shoes, navigating the challenges, joys and hilariously unpredictable moments every day. If that is you, this book will make one thing very clear: you are not alone.
"Saying Yes to Saying No, moved me to being convicted of how
calloused I had become to the influences in our world today, and
yet I felt challenged to take a stand against those same influences
for my sons. If you have children or grandchildren, you will want
to teach them to "Say No" when it counts, and this book will give
you the tools to start now " -Ryan Knight, D.C.
Sex is going to become a part of everyone's life at some point.
Are you one of the 90% of parents who wish they knew what to say
when it came to talking to your son or daughter about sex? Saying
Yes to Saying No will equip you with scripture, and communication
tools to give you confidence to become the parent who is meeting
the needs of the 87% of teens who say it would be easier to
maintain a sexually pure lifestyle if their parents would have open
conversations with them about sex. Saying Yes to Saying No
addresses issues like sexting, pornography, boundaries in dating,
and much more. Saying Yes to Saying No will give you tools to start
developing the conversation of sexual intimacy from age three,
building on that conversation through your son or daughter's young
adult years.
Powerful Scriptures are placed in each chapter to remind you of
the promises God has given you as a parent.

"Low-demand parenting requires radical acceptance. It says to the kid right in front of you, I see you, just as you are. - You are ok here. I love you right here."
Parent to neurodivergent children and autistic adult, Amanda Diekman, outlines a parenting approach that finally lowers the bar for the whole family, enabling the equilibrium of the home to be restored.
Low-demand parenting allows you to drop the demands and expectations that are making family life impossible and embrace the joyful freedom of living life with low demands. It can be a particularly effective approach for children with high anxiety levels including neurodivergent children. Amanda talks from experience and teaches you how to identify what the big, tiny and invisible demands are for your own child and gives you the step-by-step instructions on how to drop them.
Full of practical resources and scripts that are easy to implement in busy everyday life, this book is your flashlight and your map to parenting your uniquely wired child. It will not tell you where to go, but it will help you find your way so you and your family thrive.
Emmet and Ruth Edwards -- After sharing their lives for sixty three
years, with a deep and abiding love, through two significant
professional careers, five beautiful children, and surviving
indescribable sorrows together, their lives are inseparable. His
life story is her life story and she contributed as much to it as
he did. Their life together was a wonderful adventure and a great
love story filled with accomplishments and heart breaks. Through it
all, their love for each other made all things possible. A well
told, entertaining story that is also an inspirational tribute to
the indomitable American spirit that has been given the Authorhouse
Masterpiece treatment.
This book was birthed after seeing so many students come into my
office day after day and tell me all kinds of horror stories about
their home life. So this book is written to express the passion in
my heart to bring forth a realization of God's Word and His
standard of parenting, a standard that never fails if used
according to the way it was written and established. I hope to
express that God's Word is the only groundwork and foundation laid
out for parents or caregivers to follow when raising children to be
morally and righteously sound. Parenting is one of the most
important roles that God designed for mankind, and it is time for
us to take this role seriously. I want parents to know that
Christian counseling is an essential tool that can be use to raise
godly and biblically moral children. My ultimate desire is to
educate, equip, and empower parents with the necessary tools to
raise productive, educated, law-abiding, and God-fearing children.
I would also like to leave the reader with the knowledge of how
proper counseling and guidance can shape the emotional, physical,
social, and spiritual nature of a child in a form that is pleasing
to God.
