I discovered that writing a book all by myself is (shockingly) double the work! However, even though I say I wrote this on my own, it is really the product of a lot of collaboration. My wife, Ellen, is an amazing mother and spouse. She loves our family well and models what it looks like to be a good parent every single day. She also made extensive edits to this manuscript that kept making it better. To say I'm grateful to her is a huge understatement. Frank Gaskill, Jonathan Feather, and my other colleagues at Southeast Psychological Services are not only fun and cool people, but are also among the best in the field. They sharpened my thoughts, helped with the research, and gave me tremendous feedback throughout this process. Drew Wozniak has been my research assistant for the past couple of years and has helped me out tremendously. He has a great mind and a love for learning that I admire greatly. Finally, I am extremely grateful to the parents and kids I have met over the past few years who provided me with stories and insights. Without them, this book would be dry as dust. Their stories weave a richness into the text that will benefit many families for years to come. Thanks to all of you.
