A Special Child in the Family: Living with your sick or disabled child

by Diana Kimpton

Overview

If your child is sick or disabled, this book is for you. The exact diagnosis doesn't matter because the problems, worries and fears covered here are shared by everyone in your situation.
This is a book about feelings and how to cope with them, about balancing the needs of everyone in your family and about getting the best help for your child. It also tackles two issues that are rarely talked about - death and failing to cope.
Written by a parent for parents, the ideas you'll find here are parent-sized ones you can try yourself. They come from Diana's own experiences and those of the many parents and professionals who helped with her research.
