4.0 out of 5 stars
A classic resource with good insoght!, January 18, 2012
This review is from: The Crisis Manual for Early Childhood Teachers: How to Handle the Really Difficult Problems (Paperback)
I have used this book as a resource for 10 years and it still holds its value! There are brief chapters about a wide variety of painful/difficult events that can happen to young children, including things like sexual assault, death of a parent, Hiv/AIDS of child or family member, divorce, poverty, etc. Each chapter gives a brief summary of how the young child may be affected by the trauma, discusses possibloe systoms or behaviors you may observe, and then offers practical advice in how to support the child process the event and get support. Because it is an older text, some of the book and video recommendations to share with children are no longer available or are now out of print. However, many are classic books that you can still find, and the advice is sound and simple. It doesn't go deep--but is meant to offer quick insight and support for the parent, teacher, or caregiver who needs to support a child who has undergone some type of crisis, and it does it well!
