Every day, parents struggle to give responsible answers to questions about sex, drugs, bigotry, and myriad other issues that children wonder and worry about at increasingly earlier ages. Here to help is this timely and practical handbook by noted child psychologist and Child magazine columnist Siegler. Stressing the importance of honest and clear communication, Siegler reviews a variety of topics, including separation, divorce, remarriage, and illness and death. He offers hundreds of sample dialogs between parents and children to illustrate ways in which conversations can be structured to inform and reassure kids ages three to 12. While the degree of frankness in many of the dialogs may not suit everyone, Siegler's approach, when tempered with parents' own sense of their child's needs, encourages new ways of understanding and communicating. Recommended for parenting collections.
