Bob PMd and questioned me about recommending the mental wellness book to people who had young children. You all might not realize this but the book probably should be read more by parents of younger kids. www.woodbinehouse.com/main.asp_Q_product_id_E_1-890627-65-8_A_.asp
I think the title is misleading because while it does address issues adults are experiencing it also tells you that many of the behaviors have their roots in childhood.
I told Bob that I really think they should change the title to MENTAL WELLNESS FOR PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME...but am afraid if I did that they would also reissue it and change the cover...LOL. But as I told him, Emily has had her time in the Sun over gracing the cover and is already in the bookshelves of many.
But it is a must read for parents of any child with DS I think. I learned a lot from it that I wish I had known earlier. One in particular that stands out are behaviors that result from our kids being unable to express emotions and often pain they are having.
