School Counselor's Perspective

As an elementary school counselor for 20 years, this book was a staple in my office. It was one of the first resources I consulted when confronted with children's concerns. I had 2 copies: one for my shelf and one for checkout, often with a waiting list. I highly recommend this wonderful tool for teachers, administrators and parents.

Certainly helped me to understand our child.

I read the 1981 edition to understand the 2 years-old son of my wife. The book then has become my guide to understand the child for the next ten years. I didn't need to read any additional book but only devote time for the son. I reccommend everybody, who needs to understand children and help their parents, to read and digest the book.
