Dear Fellow Parent,
My son has Autism, and I also
have a younger daughter.
He was affected very strongly by
his social surroundings, and his emotions overloaded him every
minute.
Here's what I did
to help,
and here's what I've got to offer
you:-
"
I developed 4 books to help my children keep their power
and self dignity in tact."
( I
have over thirteen years experience with ASD / Aspergers / Autism,
both as a mother and as a consultant to parents, as well as holding
academic qualifications as 'Post Grad Cert in Advanced Disabilities
Studies' )
These 4 books are written in
step-by-step format to make talking to kids about different
situations easier for parents.
Due to all parents having
extremely busy lifestyles, it can become like just another chore to
have to listen and breakdown our children’s daily experiences and
issues, and even then we may struggle to have the right words.
Children have a mountain of
situations happen to them daily, and without the appropriate advice
and strategies to assist them in dealing with these, they most
likely show their discomfort and distress in behavioral manners that
are deemed inappropriate in society.
I have called my 4
books, "Rules Of The Game", Book 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Children are not born with the knowledge of emotions nor
social situations, regardless of label or no label.
I believe some children ‘go with the flow’ and
this can assist in making them seem ‘normal’ and ‘able to understand
their social surroundings’.
Others do not ‘go with the flow’
and hence the negative reactions they will show throughout their
days to express this discomfort they are experiencing.
The “Rules of the Game” books allow children to understand
their emotions
They learn about the world’s 'social ways' and also allows them
to learn
what responsibility they own, and what responsibility does not belong
on their shoulders, and in fact belongs to another person.
These books are very thorough
and are not just books that can be read and put away.
They were developed so parents and children can use them daily,
flick to whichever topic suits the situation and read through it,
then mould it to fit different situations.
They are
broken up into different stories, and when used consistently,
allows the child to take the knowledge and utilize it in the every
day situations.
Allowing the child to break down
situations into different segments (e.g. if someone says something
offensive they can think to themselves, “oh that is an opinion and
everyone has one, and it does not mean it is the truth”) allows for
a sense of control and understanding, and they can then focus
on what is important in their lives, and not waste time in becoming
worked up on things they cannot control.
The “Rules
of the Game” books were initially developed for my son
and daughter to assist them with their every day experiences.

for ANY
reason
you don't like my books
I'll Refund Your Money.
You'll also get to keep all 4 of the books,
and
the bonus books anyway
(for free)
just because you took the time to
see if the books helped you.
(To be fair, this offer is valid
for 60 days.)
Thanks - Kerri |

"...work
such as Kerri’s is critical in modern times, particularly when
the mental health industry has much to answer for in relation to
the wider social implications it has created..."
" Contrived out of first hand
experience, Kerri has a wealth of practical knowledge regarding
the difficulties that kids face when growing up with
developmental and social conditions.
Even more valuable to parents and
professionals alike, her determination to express that knowledge
in an easily digestible format is inspiring and commendable.
The technique she employs is
simple, fun, and symbolically assimilating, especially for those
without a background in behavioural sciences because the
language and concepts she uses is plain enough for anyone to
understand.
Practical, front-line work such as
Kerri’s is critical in modern times, particularly when the
mental health industry has much to answer for in relation to the
wider social implications it has created.
Parents need to have resources
that help them dissolve the myths about the rigid ways they have
been lead to believe kids fit into contemporary society and
empower them with the insight to help their children flourish,
regardless of any behavioural or social deficits.
Kerri’s work aspires to provide
these resources and make them easily available to parents all
around the globe."

"...Children with Spectrum Disorders often struggle in
finding a way to be understood..."
"As a social worker and therapist
who has worked with children for over 17 years, I was
thrilled to see a resource that will help children
navigate the complexity of communication and social
interaction.
Children with Spectrum Disorders
often struggle in finding a way to be understood and to
understand how to fit into the world around them.
"Rules of the Game" is a wonderfully crafted tool for
parents and other care givers to utilize in helping
children communicate their needs, understand social
cues, and help the world understand them."

parent is sure to learn new and wonderful things about
their children by filling in these pages..."
"These simple no frills workbooks
give lots of space to write and also to add personal
touches like favourite stickers or drawings and this
makes the books really unique to each child.
A beautiful idea and something to
treasure forever. Every parent is sure to learn new and
wonderful things about their children by filling in
these pages."

To Whom it May Concern.
Reference - Kerri
Stocks
Dear Sir/Madam,
It is with pleasure that I am able to provide positive
information in regard to Kerri Stocks and her business.
Kerri has shown a tremendous
amount of initiative, courage and creativity in
developing a business that is designed to fill a much
needed void in a very difficult and emotional area for a
growing number of people and families.
Despite the daily challenges
within her own family, she has developed this business
from a practical perspective blended with her own
personal experiences. Kerri is an extremely passionate
person who is unselfishly sharing her own experiences
and using her creative skills to produce a people
friendly range of resources that are captivating,
educational and interesting for families supporting
family members with Aspergers syndrome and Autistic
Spectrum Disorder.
I have had the opportunity to
see some of her resources and share them with families
that I work with in my role as a Facilitator with
Disability Services Family Support Program. The response
from these families has been very positive and they
comment on the insight and learning that Kerri’s
resources contain. Kerri’s warm and engaging personality
is an attribute that makes her an ideal person to
communicate with people in the same or similar situation
to herself. Her presentations are fun learning and
educational experiences for her audiences.
I believe that Kerri has the
commitment and determination to succeed with her
business despite the challenges that she has that many
others don’t face when developing a business.
Yours sincerely,
Gerald Wyatt,
Facilitator - Family Support Program

"...You
have a unique ability to get inside the minds of
these special people and be their voice..."
"I really need to say that I
have very much enjoyed your newsletters and the book
which I have read.
You have a unique ability to
get inside the minds of these special people and be
their voice.
This is a great help the
average parent who struggles to understand what is
happening inside their heads.
Understanding this leads to
greater patience and tolerance.
Outlining your personal
experiences with the school system also helps
parents to realize they are not alone in this
confusing world nor are their children as terrible
as they can appear.
With patience and work there
is hope.
Thank you for being a
pioneer in this area.
I would recommend your books
and newsletters to anyone looking for help in this
area."

about Our Families Journey
Reading the stories in the books helped my children to "read" their
surroundings, broaden their perspectives, learn morals, respect and
self responsibility, and finally experience joy. Once they were able
to do this were they then able to succeed academically.
I have a deep compassion
for children with Autism / Aspergers / ASD
and my goal is to assist parents with obtaining knowledge
that will enable their children to evolve in a society
that is not always kind and compassionate.
I am sharing this
information to make it easier for parents to think about what their
children need to learn, and how to teach it in a manner that keeps
the child's self dignity in tact and keeps the child engaged long
enough to absorb it.
Here I am with my 2
beautiful children
as we read through the books together.

Free Bonus
#1
"This Is Me For Oldies"
Why did I
develop the "This is Me” series of workbooks ?
I developed them
for my children so I had a record of who they genuinely were
as unique individuals.
The books
allowed me to document specific needs, wants, information
about them, their likes, and dislikes as well.
The books also
allowed me peace from having to constantly repeat myself
when I was face to face with yet again another individual
who would be working with my children.
I developed a
“This is Me” book for parents, to share who they are, their
wants and needs, for their children to read if they should
suddenly pass away.
I believe that
until we learn about who we are, residing within a family,
then we can all have compassion towards each other and have
a successful flowing life. |

"Poetry For Emotion"
I remember as a child not having emotions explained to
me and also being told by some adults to "just get over
it".
I believe if we validate and listen
to how our children feel, this brings a sense of
normality and comfort to them and they will be happier
and healthier adults.
This series of comical poems helps
to raise, in a non threatening manner, some difficult
issues faced by children, and encourages laughter, open
discussions and helps them to develop their own
practical strategies when faced with real life problems.
This book is full of A LOT of fun
and engaging poems and very visual.
1) Butterfly Bob
2) Silly Sedrik
3) Disgusted Donna
4) Thinking Thelma
5) Unsure Unice
6) Ruthless Ryan
... and many more interesting characters.

Here
is an explanation of one of the topics covered in book 2.
THINK IT, DON’T SAY IT
©
I realised my children
did not deliberately say things to hurt other people; they
simply spoke the truth as they saw it.
I don’t believe in
shaming children when they say something that may bring
embarrassment on my family and to me out in public, instead
I focus on teaching them the appropriate way.
My daughter spoke this
‘truth’ quite often and it was extremely embarrassing and
yes I could have easily yelled at her and punished her, but
what would the point of been, what would that have achieved.
To a Childs mind they are
stating a fact - if they see some one overweight and mention
it out loud, they are stating a fact. They are not aware of
the ‘social rules’ nor do they have the ability to hold
their tongue and think it quietly.
In this story I
validate the fact that what they are saying may be
fact, yet I also assist in
helping the child to realise and
become aware of how the other
person may feel hearing them say
that.
(This assists
with learning empathy, responsibility by helping the child
to think of how the other person may feel and see it, and
then to take the responsibility by not saying things that
may hurt other people’s feelings.)
It is important to remember that children need to be
reminded consistently and repetitively on the different
situations throughout my books. They do not have the ability
with such young minds and also through their busy days to
retrieve information for different situations unless they
are prompted.
Children are amazing little
people. They adapt quite rapidly when given the appropriate
tools to work with.
If you notice
the words I have bolded, they are very empowering words.
They are very successful, strong and amazing life lessons
for children to grow with.

Will it fix my child ?
I
developed this whole package with the mind set that
did not include the child needing to be ‘fixed’.
Trust me, I live it - the ‘fixing’ does not start with the kids!

P.S. Autism, Aspergers,
ASD - What a burden for a person, especially a child to have to
carry around with them. These unspoken labels attached to them. This
made me start to join the pieces and realise why my son was fighting
so much - why he was so despondent, unresponsive and basically just
existing in this world, not enjoying it and certainly made sense why
he hated himself so much.
(Bad; naughty; bad parenting; manipulative; rude;
ignorant; useless; worthless; “don’t play with him/her”; retard;
weirdo; freak; loser; idiot; annoyance; pain; trouble; creep;
mistake; not normal; brat; liar; undisciplined; to much work;
ungrateful; trouble maker.)
Unfortunately when a child has a
‘behavioural issue’ label, they are carrying with them more than
just one. Assumptions are automatically made, whether consciously or
subconsciously.
So whether people want to admit
it or not, this is what Aspergers / Autism / ASD means to society.
You see it in behaviours from others, you feel it in body language
from others and I have met parents that have had to practically sell
their child to have them accepted into a certain school.
