SPECIAL NOTE: To those attending parents who submitted questions to Dr. Geddes, we finally have an answer. Dr. Geddes cannot for liability reasons answer each question separately but she does recommend these two books. For those who have questions about their young children, she recommends the book Love and Logic: Magic for Early Childhood. For those who have questions about their special needs kids, she recommends the book Getting Special Needs Kids Ready for the Real World by Dave Funk. Other special needs kids book recommendations are found here. You may find these books at your local bookstore, amazon.com, and loveandlogic.com.
