Author, pediatrician, and developmental- behavioral expert Dan Shapiro, MD, divides his new parenting guide, Parent Child Journey, into ten different "miles." Each mile represents an interactive session that brings you closer to understanding your child's behavior and learning effective strategies. The first mile includes the "Gander," an assessment tool Shapiro developed to help describe your child's developmental profile-and yours too. Respecting the different learning styles of children and parents, he presents the Gander in a variety of ways: as a standard rating scale with explanatory text, but also as a picture, a song, and a map. Then, Shapiro takes parents through nine other sessions, continuing to present his evidence-based training program as a uniquely creative integration of standard discussion, real-life vignettes, richly illustrated fable, worksheets, and homework assignments. Throughout Parent Child Journey, Shapiro emphasizes, "Just because your child's behavior may be complicated, does not mean it is incomprehensible." Parent Child Journey combines serious help with whimsical presentation-supporting and teaching parents, even as it engages and entertains. With this comprehensive new guide, Shapiro reassures parents that they are not alone on this journey.

Including a foreword by Henry Louis Gates Jr., Opening Up is a chronicle of the struggles and triumphs of families suffering the internalized stresses from poverty, domestic abuse, racism, and neighborhood violence, among other challenges. Through Parenting Journey these families resolve harmful habits and identify their strengths to raise their children in a healthier environment. Anne Peretz tells the story of this bold organization and flagship therapeutic group program that takes a different approach to helping families in need. Told through the perspectives of the families who have participated over the decades, Opening Up challenges readers to think differently about family. These stories view symptoms of stress, fear, and hopelessness that extend throughout generations as remediable and how even the severely traumatized can regain stability. This book is a testament that with mutual respect, compassion, and openness, together we can address the personal and systemic injustices that are at the roots of many of these patterns and together we can rebuild these communities.

A moving memoir about finding and adopting a son from the foster care system with Down syndrome and realizing that life is best lived by expecting the unplanned.

Starting out as a parent can be an overwhelming experience for which many people feel unprepared. While feeling the bewilderment, stress, and exhaustion that is inherent in this life-changing situation, a fleeting glimpse of what happens behind closed doors would do wonders in letting parents know they are not alone in what they are experiencing. This priceless new book provides parents with the personal stories and professional insights that provide them with this perspective. Through touching anecdotes and professional guidance, this educational guide explores the complexity of familial bonds, the idea of the befuddled parent, the concept of a core or authentic self, and the redemption and forgiveness needed to address all of our imperfections. In this superb guide the author freely shares her own experiences as a parent and frankly discusses the psychological issues that many parents face. She proposes a relationship model of parenting, in which parent and child learn flexibility and resilience as well as mutual participation and influence. Tried and tested in the Toronto household it is a paradigm that reduces family conflict, and creates an atmosphere of harmony in the home. A field guide to the intricacies of parenthood, the book explains the tools needed to successfully traverse and enjoy its often rough terrain. Family Entanglement takes readers through the familial arc from the early years of sleep deprivation, the middle years of school and homework, the teen years of sexuality and autonomy, and the bittersweet era of grown children leaving home. Possessing an all-encompassing approach that is supremely informative while extraordinarily touching, this invaluable book provides parents with an authoritative look at all the complexities of the parenting experience.
