A no-cost, nonpharmaceutical treatment plan for children with behavioral and mental health challenges

Increasing numbers of parents grapple with children who are acting out without obvious reason. Revved up and irritable, many of these children are diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar illness, autism, or other disorders but don't respond well to treatment. They are then medicated, often with poor results and unwanted side effects. Based on emerging scientific research and extensive clinical experience, integrative child psychiatrist Dr. Victoria Dunckley has pioneered a four-week program to treat the frequent underlying cause, Electronic Screen Syndrome (ESS).

Dr. Dunckley has found that everyday use of interactive screen devices -- such as computers, video games, smartphones, and tablets -- can easily overstimulate a child's nervous system, triggering a variety of stubborn symptoms. In contrast, she's discovered that a strict electronic fast single-handedly improves mood, focus, sleep, and behavior, regardless of the child's diagnosis.

Offered now in this book, this simple intervention can produce a life-changing shift in brain function -- all without cost or medication. Dr. Dunckley provides hope for parents who feel that their child has been misdiagnosed or inappropriately medicated, by presenting an alternative explanation for their child's difficulties and a concrete plan for treating them.

This inclusive guide to how every family begins is an honest, cheerful tool for conversations between parents and their young ones.

To make a baby you need one egg, one sperm, and one womb. But every family starts in its own special way. This book answers the "Where did I come from?" question no matter who the reader is and how their life began. From all different kinds of conception through pregnancy to the birth itself, this candid and cozy guide is just right for the first conversations that parents will have with their children about how babies are made.

In a tech-dominated world, the most needed degrees are the most surprising: the liberal arts.

Did you take the right classes in college? Will your major help you get the right job offers? For more than a decade, the national spotlight has focused on science and engineering as the only reliable choice for finding a successful post-grad career. Our destinies have been reduced to a caricature: learn to write computer code or end up behind a counter, pouring coffee. Quietly, though, a different path to success has been taking shape.

In You Can Do Anything, George Anders explains the remarkable power of a liberal arts education - and the ways it can open the door to thousands of cutting-edge jobs every week.

The key insight: curiosity, creativity, and empathy aren't unruly traits that must be reined in. You can be yourself, as an English major, and thrive in sales. You can segue from anthropology into the booming new field of user research; from classics into management consulting, and from philosophy into high-stakes investing. At any stage of your career, you can bring a humanist's grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. And if you know how to attack the job market, your opportunities will be vast.

In this book, you will learn why resume-writing is fading in importance and why "telling your story" is taking its place. You will learn how to create jobs that don't exist yet, and to translate your campus achievements into a new style of expression that will make employers' eyes light up. You will discover why people who start in eccentric first jobs - and then make their own luck - so often race ahead of peers whose post-college hunt focuses only on security and starting pay. You will be ready for anything.

The content of this book, compared to the other books in the Prayer Legacy Book titles, intentionally overlaps. These books are not intended to sequel each other instead, similar verse and prayer content is modified to fit specific life seasons. However, the reflection writing prompts throughout each book are unique. Some people choose to purchase different Prayer Legacy Books for different seasons. For example, someone may purchase the book for their developing grandbaby then a couple years later purchase this book for their growing grandchild. In this case, the unborn baby has been born, years have passed and the grandparents now want to pray for their 4 year old grandchild so they purchased that different version with more relevant reflection prompts.

(If you don't see this book listed on Amazon for $26.50, email me at prayerlegacybooks@gmail.com and I will send it to you at that price). Congratulations, there is a new grandchild coming into your life! This is such an exciting season of anticipation and joy. With the busy days that fly by, sometimes it may be hard to do devotions, but that is the most important thing that can be accomplished. God does not ask that we pray long drawn out prayers all the time, He just wants us to talk and connect with him, even in short bursts. It is my hope that this devotional will be an encouragement to you during this special time. If you can take a moment to say a short prayer every day for your developing grandbaby, you will give them a gift, a prayer legacy, that will stay with them for years to come!

This 194 page book contains 40 different themes to pray for representing each of the 40 weeks of pregnancy. Each week consists of a short verse and prayer that corresponds to the weekly topic. Feel free to start the book at any week of the baby's gestation then continue praying until you have finished all 40 weeks. It is highly encouraged, if applicable that both grandparents pray and contribute to the book. There are many opportunities to jot down notes and include some pictures as well. This is a prayer legacy book, meaning that it can be given to your grandchild when they are older as it holds the prayers you prayed with special memories leading up to and celebrating their birth.
