Physical abuse is not the only thing that scars a child. Words hurt too, and children often have no way of handling the harsh criticism of parents. In The Words Hurt, readers follow the story of Greg, whose father's problems have caused him to lash out at this son and fail to express the love he truly feels. Beautiful illustrations and a moving story provide critical support for children suffering from verbal abuse — reassuring them that they are good, not bad people, and are not alone.

Touches on Emotional Truths but Resolution Depends on Cooperative Parents,
By
This review is from: The Words Hurt: Helping Children Cope with Verbal Abuse (Let's Talk) (Paperback)
This book does a good job of expressing how children experience verbal abuse. However, the quickness with which the father decides to stop the abuse suggests that it may be better suited to convincing abusers to seek help rather than helping children cope with abuse. It does not address tactics that children can use to sheild themselves from ongoing verbal abuse. All resolution was extrinsic to the child's rhelm of influence.

excellent teaching tool,

This review is from: The Words Hurt: Helping Children Cope with Verbal Abuse (Let's Talk) (Paperback)
I am an elemetary school teacher, and this book has been helpful in classroom discussions on self esteem. I've been suprised how many children relate to the situation described, and think this is an excellent learning tool.
The illustrations are Matisse like- children enjoy the playful colors.
I recommend this work.

When Words Hurt,

This review is from: The Words Hurt: Helping Children Cope with Verbal Abuse (Let's Talk) (Paperback)
This has been a helpful book to use in my clinical work with children. Verbal and emotional abuse can be difficult to label with young children, but this book offers a great story with opportunities to ask questions and explore a child's experiences and feelings.
