Publisher's Synopsis
Whether your child is struggling due to a life stressor, traumatic event within the home, behavioral problems at school or an unanticipated change in their mood and functioning, you may find the need to seek professional assistance to help your child cope. Many questions often arise for parents as to the best ways to support their child during this unique and important process. This booklet is designed to be "reader friendly" as an easy reference tool to assist you as you begin this process with your child. Clinicians can also distribute this guide to parents during the first stage of therapy. The author offers insights as a therapist treating children and families for more than a decade as well as relevant research and survey results from the perspectives of caregivers, therapists and the child. A caregiver journal is also included as a bonus feature. Cover Artwork by Rachael Bowles
