Many books address children’s learning or behavior problems and advise parents what they can do to help their kids, but until \u003cb\u003eNot What I Expected: Help and Hope for Parents of Atypical Children\u003c\/b\u003e there were no books that explain what the parents are going through - and how they can cope with their own emotional upheaval – for their own sake, and for the wellbeing of the whole family.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e With compassion, clarity, and an emphasis on practical solutions, Dr. Rita Eichenstein's \u003cb\u003eNot What I Expected: Help and Hope for Parents of Atypical Children\u003c\/b\u003e walks readers through the five stages of acceptance (similar to the stages of grief, but modified for parents of special-needs kids). Using vivid anecdotes and suggestions, she helps readers understand their own emotional experience, nurture themselves in addition to their kids, identify and address relationship wounds including tension in a marriage and struggles with children (special-needs and neurotypical), and embrace their child with acceptance, compassion and joy.","brand":"Tarcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43406725185791,"sku":"9780399171765","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780399171765.jpg?v=1783452622","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780399171765","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
