I enjoyed your book, I recommend that they get a copy for every foster parent. You did a great job writing for us busy parents who don't have time to sit down a read a book that looks like an encyclopedia in thickness. Even if you know this stuff, it's good to have something quick to read to remind yourself when you start getting frazzled. I know others will find it as helpful as I did.

Written wonderfully with information so needed for anyone working with these kids. I have a
12- year-old son who lived with me for 2 years before anyone had a clue what was wrong. If we had your “stuff” back then, all our lives would have been much easier. I am passing it around, as I know of many it will be helpful to. It is a gift to many! Beth M., Bucksport , ME

From the Introduction:
“The tools and techniques presented in these pages took two decades to collect and hone into a highly successful healing program for children with problems, such as Attachment Disorder, ADD, ADHD, Tourette's Syndrome and bipolar. These conditions require specialized parenting techniques to give the child an opportunity to develop into an honest, decent, loving adult. These techniques have been proven to be highly successful with tough kids, even kids who have killed, if completed lovingly . Normal parenting techniques such as lecturing, grounding, star charts, removing privileges that may work with normal children are not successful with children who have severe behavior problems…”
