Diagnosis is not destiny. Autism. ADHD. Learning difficulties. Epilepsy. Cerebral palsy. Traumatic brain injury. From the moment your child is diagnosed with a special needs condition, you are plunged into a world of doctors, specialists, and therapists. But the most important person on your child's care team is you. In Healing Your Child's Brain, child development experts Matthew and Carol Newell arm parents with the knowledge, confidence, and tools they need to help their special-needs child flourish. The Newells have treated more than 20,000 children and are the parents of two special needs children. They know firsthand, as both parents and practitioners, what works—and what doesn't. Most treatments focus on managing symptoms but don't address underlying neurological issues. This book guides readers through the stages of brain development and how they affect functioning, showing what wellness looks like at each level and how to identify—and tackle—problems. In these pages, parents will learn: • The seven key developmental areas that contribute to how well your child functions in daily life. • How to evaluate your child's capabilities and challenges. • How to create an environment tailored to your unique child, meeting them where they are, rather than where they are "supposed" to be. With insight into how your child's unique brain functions, you can move beyond managing symptoms to establishing a home regimen that fosters neurological growth. It is possible to transform the structure of your child's brain—from the cells themselves to the connections between them. By harnessing the brain's ability to grow and change slowly and steadily over time, your child can and will make progress.

Are you outwardly successful but inwardly do you feel like a big kid? Do you aspire to be a loving parent but all too often “lose it” in hurtful ways? Do you crave intimacy but sometimes wonder if it’s worth the struggle? Or are you plagued by constant vague feelings of anxiety or depression? If any of this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing the hidden but damaging effects of a painful childhood—carrying within you a “wounded inner child” that is crying out for attention and healing. In this powerful book, John Bradshaw shows how we can learn to nurture that inner child, in essence offering ourselves the good parenting we needed and longed for. Through a step-by-step process of exploring the unfinished business of each developmental stage, we can break away from destructive family rules and roles and free ourselves to live responsibly in the present. Then, says Bradshaw, the healed inner child becomes a source of vitality, enabling us to find new joy and energy in living. Homecoming includes a wealth of unique case histories and interactive techniques, including questionnaires, letter-writing to the inner child, guided meditations, and affirmations. Pioneering when introduced, these classic therapies are now being validated by new discoveries in attachment research and neuroscience. No one has ever brought them to a popular audience more effectively and inspiringly than John Bradshaw.

Most people don't realize how much unresolved emotional pain they carry around. They don't know why they always feel depressed, anxious, victimized, or disappointed. They wonder why they keep making the same self-sabotaging impulsive decisions. These patterns often stem from their lost inner child, which carries a false narrative that has been on repeat since childhood. The hurt emotions resulting from childhood experiences of abuse, neglect, or trauma show up in adulthood as explosive anger, isolation, bad relationship choices, negative self-talk, feelings of being overwhelmed, being a people pleaser, and keeping others at arm's length. In Healing Your Lost Inner Child, Psychotherapist and Reiki master Robert Jackman takes you on a personal journey to explore unresolved wounds from your early life using the HEAL process for healing and embracing an authentic life. Through stories and exercises, this easy-to-read book will encourage you to learn how to stop giving in to your wounded inner child's emotional pain frozen inside a snow globe within you. Each chapter gently takes you closer to this original wounding so you can acknowledge and finally heal your pain. Move from being an impulsive reactor to an authentic, conscious creator in your life. The Healing Your Lost Inner Child Companion Workbook is also available to help you develop a deeper understanding of your relationships, codependency patterns and triggers, and create a self-nurturing plan.

Do you feel pain, guilt and anger flowing through your body uncontrolled? Do you find yourself making self-sabotage and impulsive decisions because of a past that never stops tormenting you? Do you see the same patterns emerge again and again in each of your relationships, such as the feeling of not being good enough or the fear of not being loved? We all have an inner child. If you answered yes to the questions above, it is likely that the little child inside you is hurt and needs to be heard. Not everyone associates childhood with playfulness and fun. If you have experienced abandonment, physical or emotional abuse, bullying, growing up in a "complicated" family, trauma or other emotional pain, your inner child may seem small, vulnerable and in need of protection. The resulting pain will stay with you for the rest of your life and emerge at the most unexpected of times. You may have buried this pain deep inside to hide it and protect yourself, both your current self and the child you once were. Trying to hide this pain does not help. On the contrary, it often surfaces in adult life, manifesting as discomfort in personal relationships or difficulty meeting your own needs. Healing your wounded child is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. I recommend reading this book if you have been experiencing this in yourself lately: · Regular anxiety and fear, feeling stuck. · Excesses of anger alternating with sad, deep moments. · Rumination and negative self talk. · Chronic overload of work without ever stopping and the need to get results (all to gain a sense of belonging or approval). · Excessive self-criticism and low self-esteem. · "Difficult" relationships within your family. · Frequent nightmares. · Feelings of shame, guilt and/or pain. · Failure to celebrate life's victories due to an inability to enjoy the moment. · Self-sabotage and obsessive/addictive behaviors. · Unhealthy relationship patterns and/or avoidance of relationships and love. Listen to the little child inside you, otherwise it will keep knocking on your door. Is it possible to heal emotional wounds? Fortunately, this manual contains methods for identifying your specific type of wounded child and interrupting dysfunctional patterns. Finally, you can cultivate new ones that are useful and tailored to you. It is important to do this for yourself and for your loved ones. It may seem strange or awkward to imagine opening up to your child self; imagine this as a journey to re-discover yourself. Before you start reading this manual, I want you to be aware of three things: You are worthy of being loved, you deserve respect and you are not alone. This book was written for you, read it now! Take care of your inner child and he will take care of you.

Every 20 minutes a child is diagnosed with a disease on the autism spectrum--including ADD, learning disabilities, Asperger's, Autism, and PDD--making it today's most common childhood disability. While the medical establishment treats autism as a psychiatric condition and prescribes behaviorally based therapies, Dr. Julie A. Buckley argues that it is a physiological disease that must be medically treated. Part personal story of her battle to heal her autistic daughter, part guide for parents, Healing Our Autistic Children explains simply and accessibly the new treatments and diets that have already proven effective for many families. Told through the case studies of her patients, the book is divided into four typical visits to Dr. Buckley's pediatric practice so that parents can see the progression of initial treatment. Written in a warmly engaging voice, parents new to the diagnosis will: - learn about clinical treatments that work - understand how different foods affect the body and how to begin implementing diets - learn to navigate the medical system and advocate for their child - bridge the communication gap with their pediatrician - discover that recovery is possible
