It communicates an optimistic message that is both true and appealing: with the right education, delivered by a nurturing individual in the home or in the school, many alcohol-affected children thrive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book consists of separate chapters written in a popular and accessible style by psychologists, teachers, and birth and adoptive parents of alcohol-affected children. Many chapters are personal stories with emotional power. A birth mother, for example, tells of her anguish when she realizes that she has recovered from her own alcoholism but her daughter cannot. This mother describes how she dealt with her grief, how she told her daughter the truth, her daughter's relief at finally understanding what was wrong, and how they both developed ways of overcoming her daughter's learning problems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOther chapters describe how experienced teachers have learned to organize classrooms where alcohol-affected children can thrive and how therapists have learned to work with parents. One chapter summarizes medical knowledge of FAS\/FAE and offers information useful for understanding a child's learning and behavioral problems and devising educational approaches. The book includes lists of important resources, organizations to contact, and descriptions of effective classroom practices for teachers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWithout minimizing the seriousness of FAS\/FAE and the first priority prevention, \u003ci\u003eFantastic Antone Succeeds\u003c\/i\u003e provides practical tools and strategies that can help alcohol-affected individuals and their families lead happier, more productive lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Kleinfeld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 091200665X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780912006659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Alaska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Judith Kleinfeld","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992560337151,"sku":"9780912006659","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57a08c66-0079-45e7-8cc9-e5ae3809fe21.jpg?v=1683319595","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fantastic-antone-succeeds-judith-kleinfeld-9780912006659","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
