As a child, I unfortunately encountered problems with addiction in my family. I was given this book by a ffriend of my mother's. Together, my mom and I would read it, and it ultimately helped me cope with understanding "daddy's problem." I believe this is an excellent choice for children who are seeing the effects of addiction in their families. It is also a very informative books for those fortunate children who do not have to deal with addiction. It was definitely a huge help for me!

This title is a valuable tool in dealing with addiction issues within a family. It assists a family member or other mentor in opening the lines of communication about virtually any tough topic. The children's book gives the child an item to take ownership in. Meanwhile, obtaining the leaders guide that accompanies the children's book will assist adults in understanding the developmental stages and reactions that the child is experiencing. This is a valuable tool for families!

I facilitate a children effected by d.v/substance abuse group and this book is very beneficial!

I bought this book for my 10-year old granddaughter who lives with me part time. Her mother has stayed sober twice for two years and then relapsed. This workbook is even better than I imaged! She started reading and working in it as soon as it arrived in the mail. She was so excited to have her feelings and experiences validated. I would highly recommend it!

Highly recommend its real way of speaking & therefore helping the children in this situation. It absolutely 'WORKED' for our daughter to better understand that it was not her fault, she did not have to like it and how she could live with it honestly. Easy to read & understand, opens the communication, tells the truth!

Be sure you are looking for a "workbook" of pages to copy. This is NOT a story. Material seems a bit dated ....1984....
