Description
Raising a special needs child brings unique challenges on families; challenges that can create anger, resentment, and discord among parents and siblings. Learn to love every member of your family abundantly through this practical guide based on the Five Love Languages written by Dr. Gary Chapman. Filled with stories from parents with special needs children, encouragement and practical tips, parents and extended family or friends can learn how to show love to one another, their special needs child–even one who is nonverbal, and siblings. There is also a helpful section for communicating the love languages with health care and educational professionals. As a mom of a son on the spectrum, I greatly appreciated the author's focus on protecting and prioritizing the marital relationship. This was key for my husband and I when our son was younger. Seemingly a quick read, this is a book parents or family members will find themselves returning to again and again to help maintain perspective and self-care. A list of additional recommended resources is included to support families. ~Deanne
