The Elephant in the Playroom
In The Elephant in the Playroom, parents from across the country write intimately and honestly about the joyful highs and disordered lows of raising children who are not typical. Laying bare the emotional, medical, and social challenges they face, their stories address issues ranging from if and when to medicate a child, to how to get a child who is overly sensitive to the texture of food to eat lunch.
Eloquent and honest, the voices in this collection will provide solace and support for the millions of parents whose kids struggle with ADD, ADHD, sensory disorders, childhood depression, Asperger's syndrome, and autism--as well as the many kids who fall between diagnoses.
From the Author:
The essays, while edited, were very true to writers originals. Many people who thought they could never possibly put their feelings on paper in an honest and artful way did so without much help at all! When you write what you know, it seems, the writing can be excellent and helpful and stand on its own. I am very proud of all the real parents in the book who worked so hard to bring insight to special needs. They should get credit for their spectacular writing. All best, Denise
