Synopses

Autism in Childhood

Aimed at parents who may feel overwhelmed by an autism diagnosis or suspected diagnosis, this book introduces key issues that families might encounter. It addresses common myths, explains what a diagnosis can mean for the child and wider family, and covers topics including sensory profiles, anxiety, education and frequently asked questions.

It also discusses having conversations with a child, including the idea of the ‘autistic voice’, and considers the strengths associated with autism.

Parenting from the Inside Out

Daniel J. Siegel and Mary Hartzell examine how childhood experiences can shape parenting. Using findings from neurobiology and attachment research, they describe how interpersonal relationships influence brain development and set out a step-by-step approach to understanding personal life stories.

The book combines Siegel’s neuroscience research with Hartzell’s experience as a child-development specialist and parent educator, focusing on building foundations for secure and loving relationships with children.
