"This book is a must-read for any parent struggling through a complicated parenting problem. Dr. Fradin offers an invaluable resource for parents and caregivers facing significant challenges with their children's health."—Emily Oster, PhD, New York Times Bestselling author of Cribsheet and Expecting Better “Dr. Kelly Fradin is a godsend to parents whose kids are facing almost any kind of challenge -- long term, short term, medical, emotional, you name it. This book is going to make you feel braver, smarter, and, oddly enough, realistic and optimistic at the same time. Dr. Fradin's empathy and experience come shining through, with practical advice and the reassurance of someone who has been there before -- as a kid with an illness, a pediatrician with a lot of hospital experience, and as a mom who ‘gets it.’”—Lenore Skenazy, president of Let Grow, founder of the Free-Range Kids movement “There’s no book like this! In these pages, Dr. Kelly Fradin weaves hope and wisdom with rock-solid I've-been-there-too dependability into every suggestion and recommendation she makes. In this unique and beautiful book, Dr. Fradin speaks from her personal experiences as a patient, parent, and professional; she offers a treasure chest of information to manage everything that can go awry in a child’s life. It’s a certified godsend!"—Edward Hallowell, MD, author of Driven to Distraction “Dr. Fradin writes with compassion and knowing. Advanced Parenting is a salve for those who unexpectedly find themselves facing a complicated parenting journey. More than that, it serves as a much-needed reminder that we are not alone in our challenges, and that there is a path to weathering the storm. How lucky we are to have Dr. Fradin as our guide."—Dr. Pooja Lakshmin MD, psychiatrist, author of Real Self-Care, and CEO + Founder of Gemma “Advanced Parenting gives parents the lens, skill, and confidence to navigate their child's medical challenges. As both a parent of a child with chronic health issues, and as a pediatric mental health professional, I applaud Dr. Fradin’s ability to focus on the importance of connection, while providing the kind of practical resource that will help parents and their children be resilient in the midst of the stress of what they’re facing.”—Tina Payne Bryson, LCSW, Ph.D., New York Times Bestselling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child & No-Drama Discipline, and author of The Bottom Line for Baby "Parenting is hard no matter what, but it can be infinitely more complex if you're raising a child with a difference or challenging diagnosis. Advanced Parenting is a thorough and thoughtful book that has all the information you need to support your entire family."—Melinda Wenner Moyer, New York Times Bestselling author of How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes “This is the most essential arsenal in the extra-challenged parent's toolbox. Dr. Fradin’s expert advice, empathy, and personal connection to those she hasn’t even met yet makes her the person who should be holding your hand as you go through THIS. This book is the one so many parents didn’t even know they needed — and won’t be able to live without.” —Zibby Owens, of the Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books podcast; author of Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature and Princess Charming Expand reviews
