Recenzje

Mary Ann Richey and James W. Forgan, Ph.D have made this book so easy to read. Each chapter has a box with a Key Point and a Thinking Point. They provide colored paragraphs with examples of real life stories. There are tables, books, games, and activities. It is all so brief yet full of important information. You can even carry it around to use whenever a question pops into your mind.,Elaine Wiener,Gifted Education Communicator, 5/1/17
There is a wealth of resources available for parents; pages of sources are listed by the kind of stress, such as a new baby in the family, school, terminal illness, death in the family, fear of going to the dentist and fear of monsters. This is must have for any to be aware and to be prepared for the types of stress facing children.,Kathleen Ulrich,Children's Literature, 6/1/17
