Books for Deaf Children

Despite parents’ and peers’ constant concern, there is a specific kind of motivation amiss. A drive, perhaps, that fuels the inner self to overcome all odds, enormous though they might be in measure. For self trust, and for motivation within, parents need to indulge their children in activities, book reading perhaps, that could get them familiar with the philosophical approaches to the daily challenges.
