"One of the best parts of the book is that these two moms sound like...well, twomoms.And two very funny moms at that. So you're going to laugh (a lot), and cry (a little), and you're going to hope for the best, and you're going to pray that someone can help their kids, and best of all you're going to know that you're not alone. So if you were hoping for a dry, predictable reading experience, I'm quite certain you've selected the wrong book. Kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges aren't dry and predictable, so hang on to your hat and bring along some tissues." -Ross W. Greene, Ph.D., author ofThe Explosive ChildandLost at School "Know, work with, or love a child with special needs? If so, Gina Gallagher and Patricia Konjoian'sShut Up About Your Perfect Kidis the latest 'must-read' book on the subject. The sisters, whose wit and delivery could have landed them a gig on the stand-up circuit, share facts and funny stories about raising kids with disabilities while providing practical advice and identifying helpful resources. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll learn a lot about living well with challenge. Buy a copy for yourself . . . and two or three more for your friends with perfect kids!" -KATE McLAUGHLIN, author ofMommy I'm Still in Here: One Family's Journey with Bipolar Disease "With truly masterful use of humor as a coping strategy,Shut Up About Your Perfect Kidauthors Gina Gallagher and Patricia Konjoian address the challenges, the heartbreak, and the touching victories of parenting children with disabilities today. The book is a valuable and insightful resource for any family member or friend of a child with special needs. It conveys a wealth of practical information with a warmth and compassion that helps parents realize they are not alone." -DEIRDRE E. LOGAN, PhD, psychologist, Children's Hospital Boston, and assistant professor of psychology, Harvard Medical School "Anyone who has ever laughed while raising a child will love this book! Gina and Patricia really find the humor in special needs parenting-and they validate us all." -SUSAN SENATOR, author ofMaking Peace with AutismandThe Autism Mom's Survival Guide "Shut Up About Your Perfect Kidis the perfect antidote to a society obsessed with perfection. It was written by two sisters who both have children with unique challenges. Gina Gallagher and Patricia Konjoian have created an honest, humorous, and touching book that will make you laugh and cry, but most of all it will make you reevaluate how you look at other people in this world. Their journey is similar to that of many parents who have been filled with conflicting feelings about their children. But at the end of the day, instead of seeing their children's differences, they see their determination and spirit. It's that determination and spirit that has changed their lives in every way. It's also what they would like the rest of the world to embrace. This book is a breath of fresh air to parents of kids with all sorts of abilities." -TRACY ANGLADA, executive director of BPChildren and author ofIntense Minds: Through the Eyes of Young People with Bipolar Disorder "This survival guide is a must-read for families of children with emerging and existing mental health conditions. Not only does this book provide highly practical advice, but it infuses that advice with real-life stories of families who have faced unthinkable challenges and come out on top. It offers hope to every family who has faced the dark side of stigma and the struggle of securing effective services and supports for their child.
