Advanced Parenting: Advice for Helping Kids Through Diagnoses, Differences, and Mental Health Challenges (2023), by Kelly Fradin

“An invaluable resource for parents and caregivers,” this important, empathetic guidebook offers practical steps for managing children's health (Emily Oster, PhD,  New York Times bestselling author of Cribsheet and Expecting Better).

Any parent who has ever walked out of a concerning appointment with their child's doctor or teacher has experienced a heady mix of emotions--fear, love, confusion, concern, sadness, and perhaps even anger. While every parent hopes for a healthy child, the reality is that children face many common challenges, including medical issues like ADHD, asthma, food allergies, feeding issues, learning disabilities, anxiety and depression, and developmental delays, throughout their formative years. As the role of a parent becomes one of a caregiver, it can be overwhelming for parents and children alike, particularly if money, time, access, or any combination of those are in short supply. 

As a balm, Dr. Kelly Fradin offers Advanced Parenting, based on her experience as a complex-care pediatrician. In this crucial guide, parents will find empathy and support as well as evidence-based practical guidance. Of greatest import is the need for tools with which to manage the emotional stress that comes from having a child who deviates from the norm, as well as coping with uncertainty and navigating the business of care. Readers will discover ways to optimize the outcomes for their family and make their day-to-day life easier.

Advanced Parenting will help families from the beginning of their journey, helping parents to decide when a child needs help, accepting the implications of a challenge, obtaining a correct diagnosis, learning about the issue, building a treatment team and coming up with a comprehensive plan. Dr. Fradin explores how a child struggling can affect the entire family dynamic including the parent’s relationships and the siblings overall well-being, and with her experience as a complex care pediatrician, she will help parents avoid common mistakes. Parents will feel seen, supported, and better prepared to be both a parent and a caregiver.

Sizing

Tips for a Correct Fit:

For a good fit, measure each child according to the Sizing Guidelines; never select a size for your patient based on eye-balling the SPIO.

You should be able to place your hand between the child’s body (in the trunk area) and SPIO and feel significant resistance when you pull your hand away from the child’s body.

Approximately an inch of resistance is adequate. More and it’s too loose, less and it’s too tight.

Toughness levels

Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything). 

XT / Medium Firm - This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough").  It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers.

XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough").  It still has some “chewability” to it, but it’s fairly rigid / pretty firm.  No chew tool is indestructible, but this is usually the longest lasting level for avid chewers.

Specs for Dog Tag Chewable Necklace

Toughness levels

Soft / Standard (Magenta or Red) - recommended for mild chewing, individuals with low oral tone, or individuals with limited jaw strength just learning to bite and chew.  These are the softest ones with the most “squishiness” and “give” to them.

XT / Medium Firm (Lime Green or Teal) - XT stands for "Xtra Tough."  These are firmer, but still fairly chewy.  Recommended for moderate chewers.  Or, individuals working on building jaw strength can eventually "graduate" from the soft to the XT.

XXT / Very Firm (Royal Blue or Forest Green) - XXT stands for "Xtra Xtra Tough."  These are the most firm and provide the most resistance to the jaw.  No chew tool is indestructible, but these are very tough / the longest lasting option for avid chewing.  The Y-Chew XXT is usually the overall longest lasting chew for most avid chewers.

Toughness Levels

Standard - The softest and chewiest level.

XT / Medium Firm - The middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough").  It's firmer, but because of the slender shape, it's still very chewy.

 The Dino-Bite Chew Necklace is a fun way to explore oral motor sensory input. This is a pretty 'beefy' dinosaur chew necklace with a lot of 'meat' on its bones. It's a great option for those who prefer chewing with their pre-molars and/or front teeth.

• Comes with a satin string and breakaway safety clasp
• Made in USA
• Please note: because of its beefier shape, each level of the Dino-Bite dinosaur chew necklace may feel tougher than the same toughness level in one of our more slender shapes. So for example, if you like the Krypto-Bite in the middle XT level, you may want to order the soft Dino-Bite
