Publisher's Synopsis
A sobering look at the destructive effects of careless family communication. As a family eats their supper, Dad's sour, hostile attitude takes its toll on Mom and the kids. He's critical and complaining and no one escapes his attacks. When he picks on his teenage daughter for how she's starving herself, she runs out of the room exasperated. Her little brother wants to go "give her something," but Dad insists no one should cater to her. But the brother doesn't want to give her food-he wants to give her a hug.Topics: PARENTING, POOR FAMILY COMMUNICATION, ANGER, CONTROL ISSUESCharacters: 1 MALE, 1 FEMALE, 1 BOY, 1 TEENAGE GIRLParticipants: 4Author: Donna Lagerquist
