 Lots of words, little help November 17, 2009

I started to write a long review of the many reasons I didn't like this book, but most people reading this are parents who, like me, have a special needs child and little free time. I'll make is short and simple.
Ms. Tubbs does not appear to have any kind of formal education or training in the areas covered in this book. There is a disclaimer in the first pages that states the information in the book is based on her research, observations and experiences, but to consult a professional before using the methods in the book.
The topics covered are BROAD and not in good way. This book is like reading someone's entire blog. No topic is covered in depth and much of it jumps around, makes questionable claims about everything from history to nutrition and offers little in terms of real, usable advice. Draw circles, paint, listen to music, read fairytales, love your kids, feed them healthy, natural, whole foods. Those are the usable pieces of this book and frankly, if you are a parent seeking out a book like this, you probably are already doing those things.
To me, it seems clear that Ms. Tubbs thinks parents are stupid and she has the answers they don't know they need. The back cover claims that Ms. Tubbs has "...profoundly helped thousands of children, trained hundreds of parents and teachers and lectured to tens of thousands of educators and parents..." Really? Then how come I'd never heard of her until my librarian suggested I check out this newly donated book?
This book left me upset and angered at the portrayal of parents, and feeling as though I wasted valuable time that could have been used gathering factual, helpful information for my child. If you are a special needs parent, you may have encountered someone like Ms. Tubbs. The teacher, therapist or even family member who knows much better than you what your child needs and thinks you are just as much a part of the problem as the hole in the ozone layer or mercury in vaccines. They know far better than you what your child needs and only through them will the child be helped. Gag. Honestly, I think people like that are scary, sad and shouldn't be allowed near kids! Don't get me wrong, my child has a team of therapists and teachers that I would lay my life down for in a second because I owe them that much! I do not think I have all the answers as a parent, but I also know I am not resentful of my child's progress because I fear she won't need me, as Ms. Tubb's states mothers often do.
Look on, any book on creative kid's activities is more useful than this book. Check out GFCF diets, and save your time and money by skipping this one.

I have skimmed through this book, reading chapters that I THINK pertain to our situation. We have twin boys with varying degress of autism. There a LOT of interesting and useful ideas in this book that we will be able to implement beyond what our current therapies offer (like on weekends and downtime, etc). The only reason I didn't give it 5 starts is that I haven't read every page and given it my full attention. This book does offer a great variety of ideas.
