Kids First Diabetes Second: Tips for Parenting a Child with Type 1 Diabetes

2013 ERIC HOFFER BOOK AWARD WINNER

Raising a child is a difficult job. Raising a child with a chronic illness such as diabetes can be a difficult job with a side order of special challenges.

Leighann Calentine's D-Mom Blog is an invaluable resource for parents and caregivers of children with diabetes. Leighann shares her family's experiences with her daughter's type 1 diabetes in a forum that is intimate, informative, and inspirational.

In a style both practical and affirming, Kids First, Diabetes Second presents Leighann's advice to help parents and caregivers enable children with diabetes to thrive. Learn how to automate tasks, navigate challenges, celebrate achievements, establish a support group, relieve stress, and avoid being consumed by management of the condition, while focusing on what's most important: raising a happy, healthy child.
