.The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun, Revised Edition: Activities for Kids with Sensory Processing Disorder
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Carol Stock Kranowitz

August 01, 2006
Contains many practical and easy activities that are fun for any child, not just "out of sync." Tried several already and found my grandson loved the originality and the use of everyday objects as situations for play.

.Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Daniel Goleman

July 31, 2007
Okay, I was prepared to get drowsy as I opened this book. The subject of social intelligence intrigued me, but books like this can be so chock-full of scientific jargon that your eyes cross before you've finished the first half dozen pages. But what Goleman offers is a highly readable text, revealing much about the brain's role in our social interactions - from the most simple to the more complex. He cites numerous experimental studies that help the reader draw clear conclusions amid the complicated neurological reactions set off in our brains as we interact socially. The book increased my awareness of how I operate in similar situations.
If you're interested in increasing your awareness and looking at how you operate, you may also be ... Read More:

.The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Tony Attwood

May 15, 2008
It has now been several months since reading Tony Attwood's excellent book and I have pulled it out to read again. It provides invaluable insights into myself and many people that I know.

Tony's light-hearted approach keeps it readable. As he says, he has discovered a means of removing almost all of the symptoms of Asperger's from a person. Simply put that person in a room, by themselves, alone. The symptoms have now disappeared.

When it comes time to understand what happens when other people are in the room with someone who has Asperger's Syndrome, then read this book.

.Toilet Training in Less Than A Day
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Nathan Azrin

July 01, 1989
I used this book to potty-train my kids back in the late 1970's and both of them were trained in one day. It's an intensive day of focused training, but they understood the concept before the end of the day. They were both about 22 months old at the time of training.

.1001 Great Ideas for Teaching and Raising Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Veronica Zysk, Ellen Notbohm

December 01, 2004
Of all the books I've purchased on the subject of Autism, this one is by far the best one. I was so tired of all the clinical, academic, despairing accounts of ASD in other books, that I stopped reading any material on Autism altogether.

But, this book is completely packed with not only great ideas for teaching and raising our child with ASD, but for ENJOYING our child with ASD!! Finally! The authors bring a sense of sweet humor to daily life, with a real-life sensibility that is missing from every piece of Autism literature I've seen. Instead of focusing on the "differences" we face every moment of every day, the authors just dig in and get to the business of enjoying each "challenge". For instance, the idea that "You Don't Have To ... Read More:

.Screamfree Parenting: The Revolutionary Approach to Raising Your Kids by Keeping Your Cool
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Hal Edward Runkel

August 19, 2008
I saw Hal on Matt Lauer.

While he may be on topic on raising kids, he is appallingly ignorant when it comes to gifted kids.

As a former gifted child and a parent of a gifted kid, I'd like to weigh in.

Gifted kids are at great risk for psychological problems if their gifts are not recongnized and they are not accelerated. What Hal proposed is not the recommended approach for dealing with gifted kids and will very likely lead to the kids being stunted emotionally and mentally.

Interested parents should look up Dr Ruf's book as a starting point on raising gifted kids, rather than listen to an ill-informed person who is out of their area of expertise.
