Book References for You and Your Children


Acknowledgements: I, Jennifer Hegerty, would like to thank Laura Adkins, Ron Donnett, Marilyn Fecht, Jane Gutin, and Kathy Moore for contributing to this document. I would also like to thank my husband, Chad Hegerty, for his help and patience on development of the site. Your help was generously appreciated! It started as an independent study project for Graduate School and has progressed into what it is today!

I have compiled a list of books that we find useful in dealing with certain situations. The books have been classified by topic to make searching easier. After each title, I have tried to list the appropriate reading level of the book.

If you have found a book that was useful that is not on the list, please email me and I would be interested in knowing about it. Please email it to me. Also, if you wish any further information about the book or wish to purchase the book online just click on the book and you will be connected directly to Amazon.Com. This was added as a convenience for busy families.

I hope you find the resources you need!
