I have used this book as a resource for 10 years and it still holds its value! There are brief chapters about a wide variety of painful/difficult events that can happen to young children, including things like sexual assault, death of a parent, Hiv/AIDS of child or family member, divorce, poverty, etc. Each chapter gives a brief summary of how the young child may be affected by the trauma, discusses possibloe systoms or behaviors you may observe, and then offers practical advice in how to support the child process the event and get support. Because it is an older text, some of the book and video recommendations to share with children are no longer available or are now out of print. However, many are classic books that you can still find, and the advice is sound and simple. It doesn't go deep--but is meant to offer quick insight and support for the parent, teacher, or caregiver who needs to support a child who has undergone some type of crisis, and it does it well!

I am currently taking a university course on abuse and family violence. This book is an excellent resource with a lot of great information. I know that it will not only be good for this course but for future reference as well.

This is my favorite book, it helps walk you through exactly anything that you may go through on the school grounds. It basically dumbs everything down for you to understand everything perfectly.
