Opis

Susan describes this book as a collection of "reflections, rants and ruminations." In it, she organizes several dozen brief articles, letters to editors, responses to emails from her clients and the occasional book review. All of the material is written from a child-developmental point of view in which attachment plays a vital role. The theoretical base for this work is found in the writing of Dr. Gordon Neufeld, a Vancouver-based developmental psychologist and his colleague Dr. Gabor Mate. M.D. In this, the 2nd edition of the book, Susan has included recent considerations of the impact of the digital world on children's brain development and personality. The articles are grouped under the headings: adolescents, bullying, child development, crying and guilt, family matters, issues, journal entries, parenthood, rest, teaching and schooling, and finally, a little theory; an index completes the text.
