About this listen
Has your child's personality seemed to change overnight? Has he or she been exhibiting unusual symptoms like tics, obsessive-compulsive disorder, separation anxiety, oppositional defiance, aggression, or rage? Have you seen other symptoms that seem unrelated, like a decline in math and handwriting abilities, urinary issues, sensory issues, or trouble sleeping? These are trademark symptoms of PANDAS/PANS.
PANDAS and PANS are becoming more common in children, yet many in the medical community are unaware of these illnesses and are unable to diagnose and treat them properly. Whether you are just beginning on this journey and attempting to get a proper diagnosis for your child or have been on this journey for a while and need help coping, The Parent's Survival Guide to PANDAS/PANS will help you navigate the emotional, physical, and financial challenges of these illnesses.
This parent-friendly handbook is designed to help you: recognize what is going on in your child, learn how to obtain a proper diagnosis, explore treatment options, set expectations for your family and others, gain support and self-care, learn tips and tricks to help manage day-to-day, connect with extensive resources, relate to real, raw stories of others, and understand what it feels like to have the illness from children's firsthand accounts.

You’re a teenager. You need better equipment. You need better information. You’ve memorized your multiplication tables and you know how to solve for x, but we’ve somehow forgotten to teach you stuff that matters: how to handle stress, shut off negative thoughts, and stop, close your eyes, and just breathe. This audiobook is going to rectify that by teaching you how to manage the detrimental effects of anxiety and/or depression on your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health—in ways that are both effective and sustainable.

Millions of people are suffering from chronic illnesses that, unbeknownst to them, are the result of exposure to environmental toxins and infectious agents such as mold and Borrelia, which causes Lyme disease. Millions. Because the symptoms of these illnesses are so varied and unusual, many of these individuals have sought medical care only to be dismissed, as if what they are experiencing is “in their head”. Many (if not most) have tried to tough it out and continue to function without hope of improvement. Unfortunately, their illnesses are very real.

Dr. Ross Greene, a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the treatment of kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, has worked with thousands of explosive children, and he has good news: these kids aren't attentionseeking, manipulative, or unmotivated, and their parents aren't passive, permissive disciplinarians. Rather, explosive kids are lacking some crucial skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving, and they require a different approach.

Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD is the first and only book to provide a completely parent-based treatment program for child and adolescent anxiety. Parents will learn how to alleviate their children's anxiety by changing the way they themselves respond to their children's symptoms - importantly, parents are not required to impose changes on their children's behavior. Instead, parents are shown how to replace their own accommodating behaviors with supportive responses that demonstrate both acceptance of children's difficulties and confidence in their ability to cope.

One of the very best scientific predictors for how any child turns out - in terms of happiness, academic success, leadership skills, and meaningful relationships - is whether at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for them. In an age of scheduling demands and digital distractions, showing up for your child might sound like a tall order. But as best-selling authors Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson reassuringly explain, it doesn’t take a lot of time, energy, or money. Instead, showing up means offering a quality of presence.

Autism therapy typically focuses on ridding individuals of “autistic” symptoms such as difficulties interacting socially, problems in communicating, sensory challenges, and repetitive behavior patterns. Now Dr. Barry M. Prizant offers a new and compelling paradigm: The most successful approaches to autism don’t aim at fixing a person by eliminating symptoms, but rather seeking to understand the individual’s experience and what underlies the behavior. Rather than curb these behaviors, it’s better to enhance abilities, build on strengths, and offer supports.
