Sensational Kids is also amazing for working with SPD
Looks like some great reading! I have wanted to get The Connected Child for some time now..... Thanks for sharing! And I hope you're doing OK through the wait. I know your good news is right around the corner, and I can't wait to hear it! Thanks, too, for the comment you left me about my waiting rut....today I felt so much better and I felt that old excited-like-something-is-going-to-happen-soon-and-even-if-it-doesn't-I'm-ok-with-that feeling. Satan is trying his best to discourage us right now because he knows great things are just ahead for us! Let's show him that there's no possible way he can win!!
Blessings and hugs to you today! :)
Thanks for this list!! I have lots of these but it looks like I need to make another Amazon order... :)
so as fundage is limited - which one would you (or did Purvis) recommend for adoption of an infant?? Most I have flipped through seemed more geared toward older adoption.
Thank you for posting that list. I needed some more reading material:)
