For the parents of deaf and hard-of-hearing children, this step-by-step guide offers hundreds of ideas and methods that work with children aged three to 12. It provides play activities to help parents enhance communication, solve problems and strengthen relationships in skilful, fun ways. Also, parenting techniques are presented to help parents set limits while avoiding power struggles and to help foster positive behaviour changes. In addition, this manual provides information about special resources and support services. At the beginning of each chapter, contributors (some deaf, some hearing) offer their insights on the subject discussed. They include I. King Fordan, Jack Gannon and Merv Garretson. Designed for parents with various styles, this is a manual and reference to raising a deaf or heard-of-hearing child. - from Amzon
