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.'
Research shows that 'normal' infant sleep is not what most experts
claim it to be. In fact, many of today's sleep 'problems' with
young babies and children predominantly occur in the developed
world. In Why Your Baby's Sleep Matters, renowned gentle parenting
expert Sarah Ockwell-Smith demonstrates how nurturing babies at
night helps their brain development, and covers the topics every
parent of a new baby will need to know about, including naps, SIDS,
night weaning, coping with your own exhaustion - and even dealing
with advice and criticism from others.
