I read the 1981 edition to understand the 2 years-old son of my wife. The book then has become my guide to understand the child for the next ten years. I didn't need to read any additional book but only devote time for the son.

I reccommend everybody, who needs to understand children and help their parents, to read and digest the book.

If you work with children, this book is a good practical guide to assisting children and their families with many common problems. I found this book to be well written with many hepful suggestions and techniqes for dealing with a varity issues.

As an elementary school counselor for 20 years, this book was a staple in my office. It was one of the first resources I consulted when confronted with children's concerns. I had 2 copies: one for my shelf and one for checkout, often with a waiting list. I highly recommend this wonderful tool for teachers, administrators and parents.

I first encountered this book when I was in college and bought is right away. Although I still do not have kids, I have enjoyed sharing the book and the tips with my family members and fiends. This book is very organized and user-friendly. It actually works more like a manual. You can look up any type of problem that your child has, read about the definition, causes, prevention, solutions, case study, references for parents, and stories for children. It is comprehensive and I think it is so important to parents and children that it should be bought in every school to all children before they even become parents.

This book can change your life!!!
