Going Solo While Raising Children with Disabilities скачать fb2

It&apos;s a fact that children with disabilities are more likely than other children to be living in single-parent homes. If you&apos;re raising a child with disabilities on your own—solo parenting—whether by choice or circumstance, you&apos;ll find a wealth of support, affirmation, and practical ideas in this guide to living well. <P> This is the first book for solo parents whose kids have a wide variety of disabilities (physical, neurodevelopmental, and psychiatric), and who are widowed, separated, divorced, single by choice, adoptive or foster parents, or military spouses with deployed partners. <P> In Going Solo, Laura Marshak skillfully weaves together extensive interviews and survey results of solo mothers and fathers (and grandparents, too) with reliable coping strategies gleaned from 25 years as a practicing psychologist and specialist in disability adjustment. The book&apos;s insightful personal narratives and the author&apos;s deconstruction of these to offer universal lessons—from the basic (e.g., practice mindfulness to de-stress) to the profound (e.g., cultivate gratitude as the antidote to resentment)—can help readers assess and transform their own lives for the better. Agencies, extended family, and friends will want a copy of this book, too, to support the solos they care about.
