I have been blessed to share Cori's journey through life. I have
also discovered that life isn't short of resources; it is about the
opportunities that we have been given. I have found that life
begins at the end of your comfort zone, and doing things that used
to be "outside the box" challenges the opinions of one's
single-minded beliefs. You would think that by surviving with
limitations, you're grounded or destined to only live life within
your abilities and not beyond. Do not allow your restrictions to be
an excuse to ground you. Do not accept that you can only live a
certain life. Cori has taught me to think of a life without
boundaries. Allow the sunshine to bring warmth upon your face and
smile at those who are inexperienced or misguided to the fact that
you are significant-challenged, but just as important. Being
impaired and nonverbal does not define your life. It's the life
that was given; this is who you are, and this is who we remain. We
hope that you will perceive our journey as encouragement and
inspiration, to live outside the box with no boundaries and to have
faith in yourself and be certain of change. I feel that life just
falls into place, since real life's destiny is not of our own
choosing. The true measure of a person's strength is how we
continue to exist when that moment does arrive. This is our journey
we share with you to learn there are no limits to the life of
experience a cerebral palsy child can have.
Filled with relevant, expert, and practical child-rearing
information, this invaluable guide also helps parents understand
and utilize parenting resources ranging from scientific research to
Internet sites to the popular press. Taking up where the 2004
edition of The Educated Parent left off, Child Rearing in the 21st
Century is a must-have guide to parenting best practices. Author
Joseph D. Sclafani, a psychologist and family therapist, highlights
the different approaches to child rearing and provides practical
advice about which approaches work best and why. Topics covered
range from the role of the parent as supporter/protector to the
efficacy of daycare and the ways parents can prepare for and assist
in a child's education. The book also looks at parenting after a
divorce, at the importance of fathers in children's lives, and at
such 21st-century issues as cyberbullying and the anxiety-producing
effects of societal pressures. One of the unique aspects of the
book is that it presents and explains expert knowledge from
journals and research studies that are often inaccessible to the
everyday reader. Centers of parenting advice such as the Internet
and parenting magazines are evaluated as well. References stress

Real kids face real adversity. The Bible is no out-of-touch
book. In fact, better than any other book, the Bible can relate to
our toughest realities, our strongest suffering, and guide us to
victorious living.
From Children to Champions begins and ends with the all-time
ultimate Champion, Jesus.
From his birth and childhood in "That's No Way to Raise a Kid"
to the final chapter, "Chances with the Champion," Jesus is the
prize upon which we all, young and old alike, fix our eyes.
(Hebrews 12:2 NLT)
