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.
"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

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

Children are not born with any particular knowledge or skills,
therefore everything they need to know about how to survive in the
real world they have to either learn at school or from you, their
parents. Sadly, children don't learn vital financial lessons in
school; therefore it's up to you to teach them not just how to
scrape by in life, but how to thrive
The Family Bank is a full home financial system, which will not
only teach your children how to use a checking account, credit
cards and loans; but how to: build a resume, prepare for a job
interview, succeed at work on a daily basis, budget, and how to
avoid getting into debt over their heads. Even what to do to get
out of financial trouble if they do fall down that hole. The Family
Bank will also teach your kids how credit works in our society and
how to maximize their credit scores, in order to take advantage of
all the benefits that come with "good credit."
The true beauty of The Family Bank though, is not the volumes of
information it will help you to teach your kids; it's the elegantly
simple way it does it. The Family Bank is a simple, yet thorough
and complete outline of everything you need to know in order to
create an actual "Family Bank" in your home; where your children
will be your bank members. To develop a "Family Bank" on your own
would take you years, but who has the time? With The Family Bank
and a few minutes of your time each week, your children will enter
the real world armed with the knowledge they need in order to be
financially successful, stable adults. Let's get started...
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.
