Autism, she concludes, is not a hardwired impairment programmed into a child&amp;rsquo;s genes and destined to remain fixed forever. Instead, it is the result of a cascade of events, many seemingly minor. And while other doctors may dismiss your child&amp;rsquo;s physical symptoms&amp;mdash;the anxiety, sensory overload, sleeplessness, frequent illnesses or seizures&amp;mdash;as coincidental or irrelevant, Dr. Herbert sees them as vital clues to what the underlying problems are, and how to help. Drawing from the newest research, technologies, and insights, as well as inspiring case studies of both children and adults, Dr. Herbert guides you toward restoring health and resiliency in your loved one with autism. Her specific recommendations aim to provide optimal nutrition, reduce toxic exposures, limit stress, and open the door to learning and creativity. As thousands of families who have cobbled together these solutions themselves already know, this program can have dramatic benefits&amp;mdash;for your child with autism, and for you, your whole family, and perhaps your next baby as well.&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&amp;ldquo;Invaluable . . . a must-read . . . Dr. Martha Herbert gets it. She not only gets it, but she puts it out there in an awesome book so the rest of us can get it, too.&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;Autism Watch&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&amp;ldquo;[Herbert] goes further than most autism specialists. Her impressive science background merges with common sense and even intuitive sense [making] complex scientific and medical materials seamlessly blend with a holistic viewpoint.&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;Relieve Autism&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hope and practical guidance . . . With this easy-to-read book, parents can gain wisdom on how to guide your child to achieve a healthy and thriving life.&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;Mom Central&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

A gentle hands-on healing approach, craniosacral therapy releases tensions in the body in order to relieve pain, resolve trauma, and improve physical and emotional health. Author and craniosacral therapist Daniel Agustoni discusses the reasons for treating young children and for beginning treatment during pregnancy. He explains how the stress of birth can cause asymmetries and misalignments in babies' bodies that can lead to problems later in life: from suckling problems, abdominal colic, and fragmented sleep patterns to anxiety, hyperactivity, and ADD. Agustoni demonstrates how craniosacral therapy can also offset the effects of stress, trauma, and PTSD that may affect the growing child depending on his or her environment, biology, and temperment. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Enhanced with over 120 instructional photos and illustrations, the book's hands-on techniques are presented along with suggestions for interacting with parents, babies, and young children. The book discusses methods of evaluation and treatment following structural, functional, and biodynamic models. Engaging case examples describe the therapeutic results of the treatment, which include increased security and confidence, relaxation, support for the immune system, and a sense of well-being. An important resource for healthcare practitioners, this book is also useful for educators, parents, and caregivers interested in learning new ways to help their children.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Trade Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

But how could a woman with her own food and body issues&amp;mdash;not to mention spotty eating habits&amp;mdash;successfully parent a little girl around the issue of obesity?&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; In this much-anticipated, controversial memoir, Dara-Lynn Weiss chronicles the struggle and journey to get Bea healthy. In describing their process&amp;mdash;complete with frustrations, self-recriminations, dark humor, and some surprising strategies&amp;mdash;Weiss reveals the hypocrisy inherent in the debates over many cultural hot-button issues: from processed snacks, organic foods, and school lunches to dieting, eating disorders, parenting methods, discipline, and kids&amp;rsquo; self-esteem.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; Compounding the challenge were eating environments&amp;mdash;from school to restaurants to birthday parties&amp;mdash;that set Bea up to fail, and unwelcome judgments from fellow parents. Childhood obesity, Weiss discovered, is a crucible not just for the child but also for parents. She was criticized as readily for enabling Bea&amp;rsquo;s condition as she was for enforcing the rigid limits necessary to address it. Never before had Weiss been made to feel so wrong for trying to do the right thing.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; The damned if you do/damned if you don&amp;rsquo;t predicament came into sharp relief when Weiss raised some of these issues in a &lt;i&gt;Vogue&lt;/i&gt; article. Critics came out in full force, and Weiss unwittingly found herself at the center of an emotional and highly charged debate on childhood obesity.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; A touching and relatable story of loving a child enough to be unpopular, &lt;i&gt;The Heavy&lt;/i&gt; will leave readers applauding Weiss&amp;rsquo;s success, her bravery, and her unconditional love for her daughter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Advance praise for &lt;i&gt;The Heavy&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &amp;ldquo;Have you ever been &amp;lsquo;that mother&amp;rsquo;? You know, the one who others criticize or question? If so, then you know what incredible courage and daring it can take to raise a child in a way that doesn't always meet other people&amp;rsquo;s expectations. Dara-Lynn Weiss is inspirational for her sheer will, her unwavering dedication, and her willingness to take accountability for her own actions. &lt;i&gt;The Heavy&lt;/i&gt; is a stark look at imperfect parenting&amp;mdash;and why our mistakes make us better parents.&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;Christine Carter, author of &lt;i&gt;Raising Happiness&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &amp;ldquo;Dara-Lynn Weiss had to defy her child&amp;rsquo;s school, the judgments of other parents, and our fast food culture to rescue her daughter from the epidemic of obesity. Parents should see this as an inspiration&amp;mdash;and a wake-up call.&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;Amy Dickinson, &amp;ldquo;Ask Amy&amp;rdquo; advice columnist and author of &lt;i&gt;The Mighty Queens of Freeville&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &amp;ldquo;&lt;i&gt;The Heavy&lt;/i&gt; should be required reading for every parent because it tackles&amp;mdash;with refreshing honesty&amp;mdash;that universal question we&amp;rsquo;ll all face: how to do what&amp;rsquo;s best for our children, even when the kids resist our efforts and society judges our approach. Dara-Lynn Weiss has written a brave book and started a crucial and overdue national conversation.&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;Abigail Pogrebin, author of &lt;i&gt;One and the Same&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Stars of David&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Following age-appropriate classroom themes, the book's forty detailed, one-hour lessons are designed to supplement any learning environment and are accessible to parents and teachers alike--no special training is required. In a recent study by California State University, Los Angeles, yoga was found to improve students' behavior, physical health, academic performance, and attitudes toward themselves. Research also shows that the benefits of yoga are particularly strong among children with special needs. This book demonstrates how yoga can become a fun daily practice inside or outside the school classroom. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Enhanced with over 100 black and white photos, the book's themes, or lessons, are divided by age range (ages four to six, seven to nine, and ten to twelve) and explore topics based on the child's developmental level. For four- to six-year-olds there are twenty hour-long lessons on subjects ranging from colors and the holiday seasons to sounds and words. Ten hour-long lessons for seven- to nine-year-olds introduce such topics as the body, countries of the world, botany, zoology, and the universe. For ten- to twelve-year-olds, ten hour-long lessons cover the environment, geometry, the Earth, fractions, the food chain, and more. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Following the structure of a classroom lesson plan, each lesson incorporates elements of yoga including poses, breath work, meditation, and mindfulness. A discussion of the theme and intention of the lesson is followed by a warm-up of yoga poses. The children then engage in a cooperative &quot;connecting&quot; activity designed to bring them together, and a fun and lively theme-oriented activity that involves movement and awareness. The class winds down with breath work, a craft, and often a story. Finally, there is relaxation time and a guided meditation. With this preset structure, the children feel safe while being challenged and inspired. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Derived from the educational philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori and the author's own experience in the classroom and yoga studio, &lt;i&gt;Creative Yoga for Children&lt;/i&gt; allows children to move at their own pace and to be free to learn and grow within a non-competitive, nurturing setting. An essential resource for the 4,000 certified Montessori schools in the U.S., this book will appeal to yoga teachers, classroom teachers, parents, and anyone who works with children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

A lively mix of education, philosophy, recipes, and activities, the book adapts the living foods approach for all ages and lifestyles. The first part of the book explains the principles of bioenergetic nutrition and shows how cutting-edge nutritional practices&amp;#8212;including nutritional individuality, pH balance, terrain testing, and homeopathy&amp;#8212;can dramatically improve a child&amp;#8217;s health. In addition to recipes and resources, the second part offers insights into the holistic approach to pregnancy, breastfeeding, extended breastfeeding, weaning, food experimentation, play, and other daily activities. Written in reassuring, easy to understand language, &lt;i&gt;Baby Greens&lt;/i&gt; empowers parents to step outside the fast food box and take a proactive approach to maintaining their family&amp;#8217;s health and well-being.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

And while many controversies have erupted around the issue, none have gotten us any closer to a definitive explanation, and many key concerns remain unexplored. Moving beyond the distractions of the vaccine debate,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;The Autism Puzzle&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;is the first book to address the compelling evidence that it is the pairing of environmental exposures with genetic susceptibilities that may be impacting the brain development of children.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Journalist Brita Belli brings us into the lives of three families with autistic children, each with different ideas about autism, as she explores the possible causes. She interprets for readers compelling evidence that environmental toxins&amp;mdash;including common exposures from chemicals mounting in our everyday lives&amp;mdash;may be sparking this disorder in vulnerable children. Belli calls for an end to the use of hazardous materials&amp;mdash;like toxic flame retardants used in electronics and furniture, which have been banned elsewhere--insisting that we cannot afford to experiment with our children.&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;The Autism Puzzle&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;puts a human face on the families caught in between the debates, and offers a refreshingly balanced perspective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Moving beyond the distractions of the vaccine debate,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;The Autism Puzzle&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;is the first book to address the compelling evidence that it is the pairing of environmental exposures with genetic susceptibilities that may be impacting the brain development of children.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Journalist Brita Belli brings us into the lives of three families with autistic children, each with different ideas about autism, as she explores the possible causes. She interprets for readers compelling evidence that environmental toxins&amp;mdash;including common exposures from chemicals mounting in our everyday lives&amp;mdash;may be sparking this disorder in vulnerable children. Belli calls for an end to the use of hazardous materials&amp;mdash;like toxic flame retardants used in electronics and furniture, which have been banned elsewhere--insisting that we cannot afford to experiment with our children.&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;The Autism Puzzle&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;puts a human face on the families caught in between the debates, and offers a refreshingly balanced perspective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Autism is not a hardwired impairment programmed into a child&amp;rsquo;s genes and destined to remain fixed forever, as we&amp;rsquo;re often told. Instead, it is the result of a cascade of events, many seemingly minor: perhaps a genetic mutation, some toxic exposures, a stressful birth, a vitamin deficiency, and a series of infections. And while other doctors may dismiss your child&amp;rsquo;s physical symptoms&amp;mdash;the diarrhea, anxiety, sensory overload, sleeplessness, immune challenges, and seizures&amp;mdash;as coincidental or irrelevant, Dr. Herbert sees them as vital clues to what the underlying problems are, and how to help. In &lt;i&gt;The Autism Revolution,&lt;/i&gt; she teaches you how to approach autism as a collection of problems that can be overcome&amp;mdash;and talents that can be developed. Each success you achieve gives your child more room to become healthy and to thrive. &lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; Drawing from the newest research, technologies, and insights, as well as inspiring case studies of both children and adults, Dr. Herbert guides you toward restoring health and resiliency in your loved one with autism. Her specific recommendations aim to provide optimal nutrition, reduce toxic exposures, shore up the immune system, reduce stress, and open the door to learning and creativity&amp;mdash;all by understanding and truly meeting your child&amp;rsquo;s needs. As thousands of families who have cobbled together these solutions themselves already know, this program can have dramatic benefits&amp;mdash;for your child with autism, and for you, your whole family, and your next baby as well. &lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; A paradigm-changing book that offers hope and healing for the millions of families who have autism in their lives, &lt;i&gt;The Autism Revolution&lt;/i&gt; shows that there&amp;rsquo;s plenty you can do every day to give someone you love the best possible gift: a life lived to the fullest potential.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
