A Very Modern Family

Stories and Guidance to Nurture Your Relationships

De: Carrie Grant, David Grant

Narrado por: Carrie Grant, David Grant

A breakout book on the ever-expanding concept of family

Carrie and David Grant have an extraordinary family story to tell. They have four children, one of whom is adopted, and all have come with a curveball: mental health challenges, neurodivergence, trans non-binary identities, various sexualities, and they are a mixed-race family, too.

It is a reflection of the fact that society is changing faster than most of us can keep up with. The wider concepts of family and community are being deconstructed. There are those who are desperately clinging to the old and those who are desperate for the new to be accepted. How do we hold our families and communities together in unity? How do we create a society where all are included and none are oppressed?

In A Very Modern Family, Carrie and David share their challenges and discoveries of growing and shapeshifting to create an incredible, diverse family and community. With their multi-intersectional family, they share their own mindset changes and insights into how to construct a new, accepting and unified space, while providing a deep dive into real life, frequently encountered situations and pertinent, applicable advice.

A Very Modern Family is an important guide for our times - full of pain, change and hope.

Insightful book of hope & love

Thank you Carrie and David for sharing your story and invaluable wisdom from the journey of your inspiring life parenting your 4 beautiful neuro diverse children. This book makes excellent points and has truly helped provide critical understanding of my neuro diverse children's needs within a broken system and widely unaware world. The knowledge and experiences shared will significantly help other children and parents. A gold nugget for me with the relatable cultural background as David, is to change from listening to respond vs listening to understand. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND for parents struggling to understand the world of autism and neuro diverse children. I think it's as a great audio and well worth buying the hard copy too! I discovered this book searching for help and watching one of your interviews on you tube with a doctor.
