Family's Plight
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Laura Shapiro Kramer's book is wonderful.It shows how a family dealt with circumstances thrust upon them by seeking and exploring every available option.I gained a great deal of knowledge and insight reading about this family's experiences. It is an inspiring and thought-provoking story particularly for anyone dealing with a child who has special needs. I highly recommend this book!
Mainstream vs. Alternative ...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Any mother wants what is best for her child and Laura Shapiro Kramer does not differ in that respect. Leary of what modern medicine had to offer her mild to moderately cerebral palsied child, Seth, she began to explore alternative therapies from homeopathy to Feldenkrais. A mother's struggle to help her young child lead her beyond the mainstream and into the oft times controversial world of alternative medicine. A powerful book, a success story for one family, but not for everyone.
This book has great ideas for parents to help their kids
