National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA)

NAPPAHonors no yrThe National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA) is the "go-to" source for parents and professionals looking for the best children’s products and resources for parents. The NAPPA recognition means far more than simply a "good-enough" seal of approval. It signifies that a product has been rigorously evaluated against stringent criteria by expert judges and family testers and that it stands out among hundreds of similar products from around the world. Only the most select products win the prestigious NAPPA award.

NAPPA's team of independent judges involve input from parents, children and professionals working with children to name the most entertaining, appealing, safe, educational, age-appropriate and enduring products as NAPPA winners. Recognized as the most comprehensive awards program of its kind, NAPPA holds two distinct competitions each year: the NAPPA Children's Products winners and the NAPPA Parenting Resources winners. As NAPPA continues to serve families, the NAPPA seal has come to symbolize innovation and high quality that parents trust.

New book by Michelle Garcia Winner and Pam Crooke. For individuals to read on their own. We developed this book from our clinical experience working with very high functioning adults who have social learning challenges. Another possible title for this book was, "Good Intentions Are Not Good Enough" given our observation that our clients have such good intentions and simply want to appreciated for what they are attempting to contribute (just like all of us)! In this book, we have explained the ideas and lessons we often review in our clinical sessions to help our professional adults learn about the social world cognitively since they have struggled to learn this intuitively. "Michelle's books... are extremely practical and full of positive solutions" - Stephen Borgman, Psychology Today
