Our children are amazing.
We sit back and watch as they continually inspire us and help us ourselves to grow inside. As they grow up, so do we. They shine the light for us, to follow our hearts into the path that takes us into the future as they rely upon us to provide, reassure, give confidence, validate and accept.
As they grow older, they begin to lessen their need for these things and begin to take on the responsibility of those feelings for themselves. We again stand back once more and watch again as they grow wings and become more than we could have ever imagined.
This is not a book on how to treat a medical condition, or even about a medical condition. This book is about parenting, specifically from the eyes and hopefully wisdom of a parent who has a child with a rare genetic condition which brings up a whole new list of challenges.
This book is not simply a guide or a source of information, I’d like to offer a hand to hold, a shoulder to lean upon and a source of courage, strength and understanding. This book is for anybody who is touched in some way by parenting, and then especially for those affected in some way by a condition such as Cri Du Chat Syndrome. I hope to provide a real, honest yet compassionate helping hand for anyone who chooses to take it.
Cri Du Chat The First Ten Years By Rowan Blair Colver
This book is written by a parent of a child with Cri Du Chat syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects one in tens of thousands of people. When first given the diagnosis for our child, we as parents had little information available that was able to provide practical and emotional advice. I decided to write this book as a way of putting something out there which I feel I would have liked when first finding out about the syndrome. I have been honest and open about my experience as a father in an active parenting role with my child. In this way I hope to be able to shed light on what you may expect and how it has been possible for me to learn from and handle situations that I feel are connected to this issue. Much like a hand to hold and a source of insight and information, this is a parent's book for parents and carers who may or may not be affected by Cri Du Chat syndrome.
