Summary: Excellent resource
Comment: I'm earning my degree in counseling and will be working with adults and children who have experienced trauma. This book is excellent. It's geared toward parents and provides easy-to-read, thoughtful advice on how to talk to children about some very difficult issues. It provides typical reactions for each age group for each situation and great advice on how to speak to and reassure the child. This book will be valuable for my own library and I will definitely be recommending it to parents of young clients.

Summary: The Scared Child a must for parents and teachers
Comment: In light of the events of September 11,2001,no book could be timelier than The Scared Child by Barbara Brooks and Paula Siegel.Brooks,a clinical psychologist who specializes in treating families who have experienced traumatic life events,has written a valuable handbook for anyone who interacts with children.The Scared Child discusses the many different kinds of trauma that children may encounter in their lives.This book teaches some appropriate methods of helping children to understand and be reassured that there is support for them at a confusing and painful time in their lives. The author explains debriefing,a careful method of drawing out a child's feelings and asking questions so that the adult may calm any fears that they may have concerning the traumatic event.This guide can be easily read in its entirety to gain a comprehensive understanding of childhood trauma and debriefing or used simply to reference a specific kind of trauma. The text is well organized and gives detailed step-by-step instructions for talking with children about their ordeal. This book speaks to parents or guardians,but would be extremely useful for teachers or anyone who works with children.
