The Child in Crisis - Softcover

Aimed at helping parents recognize when their children are headed for crisis, this book also suggests how they can prevent the crisis from occurring. Each chapter covers a different crisis, including suicide, incest, anorexia, drug abuse, learning problems, cult attachment, and dealing with divorced parents. Individual cases are described, causes and reasons investigated, and preventive measures recommended. Parents are advised to heed their children's feelings about the initially normal stresses of childhood, most having to do with changes and feelings of loss. The narrative flows easily, and the suggestions are sound and sensibleand comfortably familiar, stressing that parents need to listen to what their children are trying to tell them.
