What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations
When vaccines first became available, they were considered a godsend-parents suddenly had a way to keep their children safe from devestating diseases like small pox and polio. Today, however, we may be over-vaccinating our children-sometimes with alarming repercussions. Every year some children suffer consequences as a result of vaccinations, and one school of thought believes that the vaccine used to prevent measles, mumps and rubella may be related to the rapid rise in autism (up 300% in the past 10 years). While most doctors continue to routinely recommend vaccinations, parents have good reasons to be concerned about rare but potentially associated consequences. In this book Dr. Stephanie Cave explains vaccinations-the pros and the cons. With detailed facts about each vaccination, as well as regulations and laws, this book provides easily understandable information to help parents make a knowledgeable, responsible choice about vaccinating their children..

Engaging Autism: Helping Children Relate, Communicate and Think with the DIR Floortime Approach (Merloyd Lawrence Book)
The inspiring success of Dr. Stanley Greenspan's unique approach to autism and ASD (autistic spectrum disorders) is known to grateful parents and to professionals throughout the world. Now at last his highly effective and influential program is presented in one clear and accessible volume. A number of innovative, exciting features distinguish Greenspan's approach to autism:First, his program has demonstrated that children with signs of autism or autistic spectrum disorders do not have a fixed, limited potential, but in many cases can join their peers and lead full, healthy lives, emotionally and intellectually. Secondly, his approach can be applied at a very early stage, when signs of autism first appear. Thus, the hope of preventing the full onset of autism becomes a real possibility. Third, the approach empowers the entire family to promote their child's development throughout each day. Also, the DIR Floortime approach guides the efforts of speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and educators to work with the family and builds on the latest research on the development of the mind and brain. As cases of autism continue to rise worldwide, Dr. Greenspan's extremely successful Floortime approach is producing very promising results that could one day stem the tide against this dread disorder. No one involved in the care of children with autism, parent or professional, can afford to be without this landmark work. .
