My daughter has trich and I searched for a book to help me deal with this. This book sounded like the best because it is written by a women with trich who is a mother of a child with trich. It sounded perfect. I paid for overnight shipping because I was frantic over the bald spots that were now forming on my beautiful girl's head. The day it arrived I read it cover to cover and have never been more frustrated! The beginning is very good. It gives an overview of trich. That's great, although I already knew most of that from doing online research. However, it is a great introduction for those who have yet to do the research. I kept waiting for a chapter on tips and techniques that help. There was a lot of talk about self esteem and compassionate parenting. In fact, the majority of the book talked about it. That's all fine and great...we should all be parenting that way...but it doesn't get my daughter's hand off of her head! I FINALLY get to where it sounds like the author is going to give advice, and her advice is to get a copy of someone else's book which has great tips on getting your child to stop pulling! WHAT??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I just paid 15 bucks for a book and another 15 for shipping only to be told to buy SOMEONE ELSE'S BOOK!!! What a rip-off. If I ever met the author I would ask for my money back. What a huge disappointment!

Don't waste your money!!!

Parents, Get this book. I have worked with parents of pullers for 10 years. This book answers every question and more. Cheryn Salazar speaks from her heart describing her own journey as well as that of a parent of a child who pulls. This book will help you understand what your child is going through, help ease your pain and help you and your child recover from trichotillomania.

This review is from: What's Happening To My Child: A Guide For Parents' Of Hair Pullers (Paperback)

This is a helpful, easy to understand book for parents of kids with Trich. Best of all, it's written by a woman who has struggled with this disorder herself, as well as raised two kids with the same disorder.

This book, accompanied with her first, You are Not Alone--The Enemy Within, is a must have for anyone trying to better understand Trich.

The book's filled with hope and hints to overcome the obstacles associated with this sometimes mysterious disorder. A must read
