Author: Phyllis Wheeler
Book Description: Parenting a child with Asperger's syndrome? Learn successful strategies
from one who has gone before you.
You want a self-assured, confident son or daughter.
Let me tell you how that might be possible. "When Shannon was diagnosed with Asperger's, the evaluators told me they were amazed at her poise and self-confidence.
"Learn the parenting secrets that brought her to the great self-confidence level she has today!"
Dear friends,
I am a writer and mother of four, including a girl now 20 and a boy now 15 with Asperger's Syndrome. It has been nine years now since my daughter was diagnosed with Asperger's.
These were seven years during which I dug out lots of information and set up various parenting structures and strategies in our household. These strategies are effective! When Shannon was diagnosed with Asperger's, the evaluators told me they were amazed at her poise and self-confidence. Learn the parenting secrets that brought her to the great self-confidence level she has today!
A friend of mine urged me to write a book to provide others in the same position with some mentoring. That book is now available--39 pages of what I have learned and pondered over these past years.
Not only do I have the experience of parenting two Aspies, but I have a brother with classic autism who didn't speak until he was five years old.
But speak he did, and I tell you my parents' strategies for him!
He is now working at a job he found himself on the open job market, and living on his own.
Envision putting your child on the road to a successful outcome like his.
Your child with Asperger's may have social difficulties as well as a wide range of learning challenges. Your child is not alone; experts are estimating that one in 150 American kids has Asperger's or another form of autism. That means that there is at least one such child in every school-and in many homeschools.
The e-book contains useful suggestions on how to parent your Aspie, including: - our "point system"
- our chore chart
- the rubber chicken game
- social skills coaching
- dealing with bullies
- when to consider homeschooling, and when not to
- and plenty of recommendations for further reading.
Above all I believe in encouraging your child-finding his strong points, and giving him a sense of competence from an early age. More... |
