This is a wonderful reminder that parents are dealing with the same issues. Kids pass through developmental milestones and some are challenging and there is hope. The information is outstanding. This is a live recording and the audio quality is sometimes poor, particularly the audience participation. I prefer audio presentations to books and hope there will be more CDs available for people like me who find it easier to be read to than to read.
