is written by Alicia McAuliffe. She was diagnosed with diabetes at age 11 and is a peer counselor, support group leader, and founder of a diabetes camp for young people. Her book explores the disease's emotional and psychological aspects with the hope of making diabetes management less of a battle between parent and child. McAuliffe teaches parents important concepts like not blaming yourself if your child has diabetes, accepting that your child will have diabetes forever, not transmitting a negative attitude, and letting your child be a normal kid. She also teaches strategies for dealing with daily life, such as including siblings in diabetes education and emergency training, educating your child's teacher and classmates, and giving siblings without diabetes some extra attention. McAuliffe shares from her heart and experience what it was like being a kid with diabetes and how parents can make it easier or more difficult.
