Synopsis

Children today live in an unpredictable, disruptive, and often violent world. Many of them live in two different homes with different sets of expectations. They face bullying at school and online. They hear news of school shootings, and racially or religiously motivated violence. They may have lost a friend or a loved one. 

As parents, the impulse to protect our children is strong, but that very protection can end up handicapping them for life. Rather than seek to save them from the hard things, parents must teach their kids how to cope with and rise above their problems. In one of his most important books to date, internationally known psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Kevin Leman shows parents how to

- be good listeners 
- tell the truth, even when it's difficult
- find balance between being protective and being overprotective
- approach hurt and injustice as a learning experience rather than fostering a victim mentality
- and much more

Whether your child is dealing with a difficult family situation, bullies, the loss of friends, the death of a loved one, discrimination, abuse, a teen pregnancy, or even just trying to make sense of what they see in the news, this compassionate and practical book will help parents equip them to process, learn from, and rise above their situation.

Goodreads review by Jenny

A helpful look at strategies for helping your children through challenging issues. Leman is very firm in his assertion that parents shouldn't try to solve their children's problems for them, but rather, be a support, encouragement, and guide as children learn how to handle difficult situations.

Goodreads review by Bryan

My modest rating is mainly due to style issues - I found much of the book a bit hard or irritating to read and not always fully clear. But for values I give the author 5 stars. For the value of his advice on average 4 (with a few 5s and a few 3s).......more

Goodreads review by Aurelia

Helping Your Child through the Tough Days Sometimes when I request a book, when it comes I wonder why. This book would probably fit in that category. I think I requested it the most because it was by Dr. Leman and I have read enough of his books to know that I like them and want to keep accumulating......more

I think one of the toughest parts of parenting is when your child is in trouble and you aren't sure how to help them. My kids are still small enough that most troubles can be solved with hugs, reassurances, and maybe a few skittles but I'm well aware that these days are speeding by too quickly so I......more
