Publisher's Synopsis
From tantrums to truancy, from bedwetting to food fads, this book looks at the emotional, behavioural and development problems children may experience (and parents may suffer) from infancy to adolescence. The author adopts a commonsense approach, and avoids psychological jargon. He has over 20 years of experience as a child psychiatrist, and is hence able to distinguish between a serious problem and a normal case of "going through a phase".;The book looks at causes of problems and offers practical solutions and treatments, with over 40 case histories and step-by-step sequences for managing common problems. It outlines the role of parents in setting an example, being consistent yet flexible, and giving rewards and punishments.
