Ally's Attic Radio Show Book Release Interview 10-18-2017
I was delighted to be a returning guest on the Ally's Attic Radio Show last week to talk about my new book. Often times I am asked if I wanted to be an author. The answer: NO. I never did. But I was called to write this book. I know what it's like to feel like your home is in free fall every single day. Your child is angry, depressed, throwing tantrums, screaming, fighting, panicking. It's awful. It's lonely.
Parents are left lost and feeling hopeless because they don't know what they can do while they may be waiting for professional help, or in between therapies. My book gives parents options, techniques, and tangible things do right now to improve their situation, help their child, and bring more calm to their home.
