A Special Child in the Family

As this book is now out of print, I have put it online at www.specialchild.co.uk so anyone can read it. The book is for any parent whose child has special needs. The exact diagnosis doesn't matter for the problems, worries and fears it covers are common to everyone in that situation.

This is the book I searched for in vain when I learnt my own two boys were incurably ill with cystic fibrosis. I was frightened of my own emotions and I needed to know that it was all right to feel so bad. I needed a book written for parents rather than about them, a book which did not just list the problems I was having but also suggested ways I could improve matters. In the end, I gave up looking and decided to write it myself. The result was my first published book.

The book is about feelings and how to cope with them. It is about the help available and how to get the best from it. It is about the great taboos that no one talks about like death and failing to cope. The ideas it suggests are practical, parent-size ones, based on people's practical experiences, not vague theory.

You can read the book at www.specialchild.co.uk.
