Guided Growth: FASD and Early Trauma
Educational and Behavioral Interventions for Children and Teens with FASD and Early Trauma. Guided Growth incorporates the latest research-based information into a guide designed for teachers, parents, physicians, psychologists – for anyone who works with children. The authors ask the reader to consider the child affected by prenatal substance exposure or early trauma and to shift perceptions – from seeing the child as one who is willfully disobedient to one whose central nervous system may have been affected by conditions that were beyond his or her control. Ultimately, Guided Growth relies on a key lesson learned from neuroscience: if we are to influence the hearts and behaviors of others, we must do so by using the tools of caring and compassion; in this way, we can remain open to the needs of those around us who are suffering from the deepest hurts.

Lying Up a Storm
Whenever Levi doesn't like the truth, he kinda, sorta makes up other stuff to say. One day his mother explains to him that telling lies will damage the trust of his friends and make him very sad. "Whenever you tell a lie, your inside sun goes away. Then a lying cloud forms, and glooms up your day. Each time you tell a lie, another cloud starts to form, and before you can stop it from happening, your insides start to storm." This book is a great resource to help children understand not only the consequences of telling a lie, but also how one lie can often lead to telling several more. It will help parents and teachers understand that lying can be a normal and sometimes healthy response for a child and offers tools to help guide children toward truthfulness.

Ester R. A. Leutenberg, John J. Liptak Managing Trauma Workbook for Teens
The main goal for this workbook is not to diagnose a mental illness, or expect the facilitator to make that diagnosis from this book's content. The primary goal is to touch on some of the symptoms and possibilities, create realizations, and provide coping methods which will help people to go forward and perhaps consider the possibility of the need for consideration of medications and therapy. A secondary goal is to help teens recognize that other people have the same issues, that no shame is connected to them and that mental health issues of any degree are not to be stigmatized nor should anyone need to feel like a victim of stereotyping.
