Most of us today would agree that the children of this new millennium are growing up in a world that is filled with pitfalls and treacherous paths that previous generations have not had to negotiate. How do we prepare these children to not only survive these paths but be victorious? Father, former youth pastor, and now church pastor, Kevin Brown shares the vision he has been given for teaching about and expecting from our children an involved, discipled way of life. He believes «The Christian faith depends upon the transfer of the gospel from one generation to the next.» Rite of Passage in the Home and Church describes, not a «program,» but instead a family's commitment to making a change in priorities that will impact them for generations to come. Pastor Kevin says, «The family has been fractured and splintered by the culture and this segregation of family by age has been brought to the church.» At his home church, the family worships together. There is no children's church, no youth services…just the family of God worshiping together as indicated in Scripture. Kevin believes the only hope for our culture is the church and the only hope for the church is the restoration of the family. This book will be of value to you individually, but is designed for use in a church community for best results.
This book is intended for both the parent newly acquainted with a child's gay sexuality, and those parents who are still struggling to make sense out of it.

Because, as you will discover in these pages, there is nothing wrong with your child that is related to sexual orientation.

But these all can be met without any lasting harm to the parties involved. This book will help you sort out your feelings and provide you with up to date information that will help you navigate the uncharted course. Many others have successfully navigated these waters before you and we will be drawing on their successes.
Parents and professionals caring for people with autism sometimes encounter baffling, challenging behavior—noncompliance, aggression, or repetitive actions—which they don’t know how to stop. The key to resolving problem behavior is to first determine its purpose by conducting a functional behavior assessment (FBA). <P> In this second edition updated with new research, case studies, and anecdotes, the authors explain how clinicians conduct FBAs: measuring behavior; observing behavior and collecting data; testing the hypothesis about the behavior's function. And now, there's new material about how to do FBAs outside of clinical settings—at school, in the community, and at home—making this strategy more accessible to parents and teachers in daily life. <P> Use the follow-on book, Stop That Seemingly Senseless Behavior! to create effective intervention plans incorporating insights learned from the FBA.
