Thinking Developmentally: New book by Dr. Andrew Garner and Dr. Robert Saul

I appreciate all the efforts being done to help families and children become stronger and to help those who work with these families become better at what we do.  With that being said, I wish that those putting out these great products could remember that many of us have very shoe string budgets that are hanging on by a thread.  I was going to request this book from my program manager but it was $50, unfortunately our program runs very tight and each year gets tighter with Trust Fund Dollars shrinking.  I can't justify the cost when $50 will make sure the families I work with can have gas cards to get to their medical appointments.  Love the Deepest Well and Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline. 

You can never learn enough about how toxic stress and its impact can be repaired in children and adults from "difficult beginnings."  More and more, I am seeing that most people can claim to be from "difficult beginnings."  Life, as most of us live it, is stressful. @attachplace

This book was just gifted to me by a Pediatrician friend and I am looking forward to reading it this summer.
