Thank you.

This is a valuable, useable guide for identifying, assessing, and treating problems "big or little". As a parent and a teacher I appreciate this team for sharing their knowledge and experience and then offering hands-on strategies for many different and sometimes challenging situations.

Is it a Big Problem or a Little Problem? is a phenomenal resource for families and professionals. It is well organized and easy to understand. The real life examples help to clearly demonstrate behavioral concerns and the suggestions are easy to implement. This book helps to quiet the fears of worried parents and empowers them to make their daily challenges into successful interactions. It also leads families in an appropriate direction when outside help is warranted. The authors have done a superb job!

Great Strategies

This book offered some great strategies for our family. We have trouble getting errands accomplished with our 2 year old son in tow. We don't have anyone to help us & things have to get done. Anyway, we used some of the books suggestions & they REALLY helped. It was pretty easy because we didn't have to read a WHOLE book to find some answers. The book is set up in a way that makes it simple to look up your issue & find a strategy.

a unique book

This is a very thoughtful book. So many "parenting" books are written to deal with a specific issue, and make it sound as if that specific issue is always a terrible problem. Parents will find this book both thought provoking and quite valuable.

A must read for all parents!

This is an EXCELLENT book, that is a must-have resource for all parents! It is a wonderful guide through the various issues of raising children, that helps identify warning signs and offers techniques for dealing with the all the difficulties that might arise on a daily basis!
