Review
A special "First Aid Kit" for parents that shows them how to understand and treat their child's special problems before seeking higher authorities. Despite widely disseminated gossip about parent/child relationships in the U.S. Duke believes that most moms and dads out there are capable of understanding many of the frustrating periods of a child's life. And they are interested in jumping in to help. This book is especially helpful for parent of children who are on medication, but its thorough consideration of most situations makes it ideal for all parents. He shows how to establish a periodic and controlled assessment of the child, and record observations about physivcal condition, emotional health, mental growth and agility. And about daily life among pals, teachers, parents, other kids and adults. Great tips for evaluating problems of every ilk and, especially these days in modern America, identifying and understanding events that deal with psychological issues or drugs. He shows how to measure the child's response to treatment , how to use play therapy and reveals straight forward but sensitive advice on parental intervention. The bonus: if parents need help outside of the home, they are measurably more savvy when they meet with the doctor . A valuable "do it yourself" contribution to family relationships. -- The Bookreader, Spring 1996, Page 46.
