Advanced Parenting

Advice for helping kids through diagnoses, differences, and mental health challenges

The Problem

Many families will at some point face the unexpected, having to make complex decisions, develop and communicate with a network of helpers, and cope with the enormous stress and uncertainty that come with raising an ever-evolving child. As the role of a parent becomes one of a caregiver, it can be overwhelming for everyone in the family, particularly if money, time, access, or any combination of those are in short supply.

Parenting a child through difficult experiences requires a special skill set, and, while there are many good options for parenting books, these are made for parents of typical children with typical challenges. In reality, many families will at some point face the unexpected, and parenting a child through this requires a different skill set.

Advanced Parenting: Advice for Helping Kids Through Diagnoses, Differences, and Mental Health Challenges

New Release

These next level skills, these Advanced Parenting skills are what parents use when they learn to be caregivers.

— Dr. Kelly Fradin

Solution

As a pediatrician for years I have seen all sorts of families with all sorts of challenges – medical diagnoses, developmental differences, and mental health challenges. I thought to myself I wish I could do more to help families find a sense of peace and balance amidst difficult times.

Though there is rarely enough time for a pediatrician to support families and I can only see so many patients, Advanced Parenting bottles up all the guidance I wish I could share with every family. These next-level skills are what parents need as they learn to be caregivers to a child facing challenges.

How can you manage the emotional stress that comes from having a child who deviates from the norm, cope with uncertainty and navigate the business of care. We’ll cover everything, from deciding when your child needs help to accepting the implications of a challenge, obtaining a correct diagnosis, learning about the issue, building a treatment team and coming up with a comprehensive plan. We’ll also address the personal aspects, like adjusting to a new family dynamic and tending to relationships with siblings. This book will help you discover the best ways to optimize outcomes for your family and make day-to-day life easier, no matter where you are along your journey.
