Synopsis
Every parent dreams of having a happy, healthy child. What happens when these dreams are shattered by a physical or cognitive disability? A Different Kind of Perfect offers comfort, consolation, and wisdom from parents who have been there--and are finding their way through. The writings collected here are grouped into chapters reflecting the progressive stages of many parents' emotional journeys, starting with grief, denial, and anger and moving towards acceptance, empowerment, laughter, and even joy. Each chapter opens with an introduction by Neil Nicoll, a child and family psychologist who specializes in development disorders.

- 2***a (45)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAmazing deal! The description said like new but the box and cards inside were still wrapped in plastic so it had never been used or opened. There was one little corner on the box that was not perfect but I’ve received brand new decks like that before just from shipping. I will definitely purchase from this seller again.
- u***y (99)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseNot exactly as described. Condition on listing "very good; damaged". Item has puncture/tear in middle of box. Wish used actual pictures instead of stock photo and "shelving wear on corners" to see actual damage. Luckily, not gifting to anyone. Shipping time was reasonable. Shipping packaging was lacking; padded envelope ONLY for a box kit, no protection. Otherwise no damage to actual kit parts. Overall satisfied with this transaction because of price for condition.Pokémon Crochet Eevee Kit: includes materials to make Eevee and instructions fo (#356590683806)
