5.0 out of 5 stars Unique Resource, October 19, 2008

This review is from: Healing Practices To Help Kids Grow Up Easier - A Resource Guide For Families (Paperback)

Would have liked to have had more stories from these obviously very experienced two authors of their personal experiences with kids, but this is a serious reference work written to address a need with information that has probably never been brought together in one place before -- virtually every modality, traditional and alternative, cross-referenced to practically every problem a young person and his/her parents might encounter in the growing up years. Such a wealth of information makes this a tool that you just want to have around for when things come up.

It is also very well organized and easy to use.

This review is from: Healing Practices To Help Kids Grow Up Easier - A Resource Guide For Families (Paperback)

Found this to be a very thorough Resource Book/Guide. Put together for us Parents as well as Professional practitioners. Very easy to get the information that's needed. Huge help with difficult issues from multiple perspectives and professions. Guides with clarity while exposing us to, and informing us about, a wide array of healing practices to heal our young people's problems. Great research, scope, including expected costs, and ease of use make this a guide that most every family/doctor/educator/counselor etc. etc. would likely benefit from.
