A Parent's Guide

This is a must-read for parents of children just receiving a diagnosis of Juvenile Arthritis or any other autoimmune disease, such as Juvenile Myositis (JM). It's an essential guidebook for dealing with the social, family, school and medical aspects of a chronic illness. Kimberly Poston Miller provides solid advice on how to maximize your time with doctors, work with insurance companies, and advocate for your child. She focuses on how a diagnosis affects the entire family, and the importance of nurturing these relationships within the constraints of caring for a child with a chronic illness. Most importantly, when you read this book, you will feel like you have a new source of support and a new friend in your child's battle against JA or JM, or any disease. Kimberly provides a sense of warmth, compassion, hope and encouragement that will give you the strength necessary to begin or continue your journey as a successful caregiver.
