Many books address childrens learning or behavior problems and advise parents what they can do to help their kids, but until Not What I Expected: Help and Hope for Parents of Atypical Children 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.With compassion, clarity, and an emphasis on practical solutions, Dr. Rita Eichenstein's Not What I Expected: Help and Hope for Parents of Atypical Children 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539367133472,"sku":"NEW0399171762","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/817Jl0kTGiL.jpg?v=1777490757","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/not-what-i-expected-help-and-hope-for-parents-of-atypical-children-0399171762","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
