For your sake and for theirs. Learning to love imperfection can be truly liberating! If you enjoy feeling better and more capable at the end of a book than at the beginning, then this is the book for you. 'As a small package can contain a very valuable present, this is a small book that contains valuable information for parents. The descriptions, explanations and strategies are clear and perceptive such that this is the 'go to' book for parents and grandparents. I especially appreciated the positive attitude and emphasis on the abilities and qualities of children who have autism.' - Tony Attwood - author of The Complete Guide to Asperger Syndrome "In this wonderfully positive and insightful book, Sarah-Jane Critchley looks in depth at issues that parents of children with special educational needs (SEN) face. Unlike other books which can be overly academic and impenetrable, this book is full of real life examples and practical advice. As a parent of children with SEN herself, Sarah-Jane is a very credible guide through the complicated world of special needs. She isn't just a professional in the field, she has lived it. Here she shares lessons learned and strategies that have helped in a way that encourages and supports but never preaches or patronises. What is comforting about this book as it takes the emphasis off of trying to be 'a perfect parent". Bringing up a child with special needs is often trial and error, and Sarah-Jane is refreshingly honest about strategies and approaches that have worked for her as well as outlining times when things haven't worked out. I know a lot of parents will take great comfort from this." Dean Beadle - International lecturer in Aspergers Syndrome "Life is messy..., Sarah-Jane Critchley's 'A Different Joy' is offering both practical and personal resilience for turning messy into 'mess-tastic.'" Jennifer Cook O'Toole, author of Asperkids. Don't let another day go by without taking the first step by getting your copy of 'A Different Joy'.
