My favorite resources for raising a child with Bipolar Disorder:

The Balanced Mind Foundation website has some information I have found to be very helpful. "About Pediatric Bipolar Disorder" http://www.thebalancedmind.org/learn/library/about-pediatric-bipolar-disorder is a very informative article has information on the diagnosis, prognosis, first steps of what to do when you find out a child you love has BP, finding a doctor, goals of treatment, medications, therapy, parenting a child with Bipolar, education, support for parents and more. Getting Started http://www.thebalancedmind.org/learn/getting-started is a great section of the website that helps parents get support for themselves, build a proper treatment team, expand their knowledge of BP, and look at how a child's illness affects his or her education.

http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/bipolar-disorder-in-children-and-teens-a-parents-guide/nimh_bipolar_children_parents_guide.pdf
National Institute of Mental Health issued this publication recently. It is very detailed and includes a ton of information I believe you will find beneficial.

Books about Bipolar:
Some of the books which I found very helpful are:

"The Bipolar Child" by Demitri and Janice Papolos
"The Ups and Downs of Raising a Bipolar Child" by Judith Lederman and Candida Fink MD
"Bipolar Kids Helping Your Child Find Calm in the Mood Storm" by Rosalie Greenberg MD
