A book to help parents or carersof children of any age
There are many books available on the subject of child care. What makes this one different is that it is written in an alphabetical format and deals with the problems of child care from birth and through the teens, not as most other child care books just dealing with the early years.
The author's qualification to write this book is that he spent over thirty years of his life working in the child care field, including Children’s Homes and Boarding Schools. During this time, he cared for maladjusted children, those with learning difficulties. and a range of other 'problem' children as well as so called 'normal' children.
In this book he attempts to pass on some of that experience in a plain English type of writing without using the jargon of psychology.
Not everyone will agree with his views, and there are some sections which may be controversial, but where this is the case the author has attempted to give both points of view, leaving it to the reader to decide which method they prefer.
It is not a medical book, but because children do have accidents, or become sick, medical advice is sometimes given. This should not be used an alternative to getting professional medical help. The author has no medical qualifications.
Excerpt
The book is in an alphabetical format to make it easy to look up a particular problem, but you can either use it as a reference book in this way, or read it cover to cover. It’s your choice.
In order to avoid the cumbersome ‘his or her’ throughout the book, the gender has been used randomly in each section, except in cases where obviously only one gender would be appropriate. Also, the term parent refers to either mother or father or, indeed, to anyone who has the responsibility of a child, whether it is their own or not.
