Features: Children are the greatest happiness and also the greatest source of frustration in a family. For many parents, it can be a major challenge to talk openly and effectively with their children about sensitive topics such as sex and death, TV and media violence, strangers, the death of family members, AIDS, drugs, parental divorce, starting school, moving, and going to the doctor. These issues are often considered important yet difficult to broach. Parent-Child Communication: A Heartfelt Approach is brought to you by top U.S. parenting education experts C.E. Schaefer and F. Degli Antoni. They combine psychological theories, their clinical practices, and their own experiences in raising children to provide in-depth psychological analysis of the "truly important questions" children might ask or are deeply concerned about, and offer parents practical and actionable advice on what to say, how to say it, and when to say it. What this book brings to parents may be just a shock to their perspectives, but what it offers children could be a lifetime of change. Counselors, teachers, and community workers can also gain valuable insights from this book.
