A person who has cried herself to sleep at night worrying about what the morning will bring. Gloria Loring has lived that life, has fought those battles, and has had the strength to rise above the emotional fears to ask the most difficult questions: Why are we doing this to my child? What is it supposed to accomplish? Has it worked for others, and where can I reach out to those others for confirmation and support? Gloria has learned what works and explains it here in terms that are readable and understandable. She brings together medical teachings and the warmth and compassion of someone who has lived through a frightening experience and has come out a winner. This unique combination she also brings to her book, a must-read for any parent of a diabetic child.

Parenting: A Guide for Young People P 02

This book is for young people. More specifically, it is for the 85 percent of all young people in the United States who will marry and have one or more children. In another sense, this book is for everyone, because even those who don't have their own families will have relatives and friends with children, to whom they will want to relate. We are concerned about men and women living together in a marriage partnership. This book has no "sexist orientation." it is for women as much as for men, for fathers to the same degree as for mothers. It is also recognized that many young people will live in single-parent families. This book is about parenthood in relation to preschool children - that is, below the age of approximately six years. It is widely recognized that these early years are the most crucial in terms of  influencing and guiding the individual. Many ideas formerly accepted about relations between parents and children have been significantly modified in recent years. One of these is the traditional assumption that raising children is 'natural"  and "intuitive" - that any normal person can do a good job by simply following common sense and inborn instincts. It is now believed that good parenting calls for a lot of thought, hard work, and careful preparation. There is no blueprint that comes with a new baby. But people who have children can lean to parent successfully. This book does not have "all the answers." probably no one set of answers would be fully applicable to everyone in any case. The focus of the book is on providing authentic and helpful information, on suggesting ideas and points of view that most authorities in the field regard as sound, and on identifying the main problems about which each individual will have to think and make personal decisions. In this small introduction to parenting, no effort has been made to be comprehensive. The authors made every effort to deal with crucial areas of interest, and have provided a selected bibliography at the book's end for those who wish to do further reading. They welcome suggestions from students and teachers on how to improve our presentation for the next revision of this book.
