THE AMERICAN EMBASSY IN JAPAN SAID BUY IT, SO I DID

...and I was not disappointed. I have PTSD myself from an auto accident and I know what these authors are talking about. Having just heard of Greg Steckler, I thought I'd give it a try. I would never think of leaving home without this book in my luggage. In these times, there is no other book. This man is patient, kind and thoughtful and teaches you how to be that way with your child. No one thinks better about children than Greg Steckler. I just wish he'd written more. Maybe he will. If you know him, call him and ask him to. The answers he provides in this book for dealing with trajedy that seems uncontrollable and creates a scary world, much scarier than the one we were raised in, requires that this book be read by every parent. The US State Department was absolutely correct when they made this one of only a relatively few books with an unqualified recommendation. It is superb in its writing and infromation. Let Greg teach you how to help your child through these trying times that don't look like they're getting much better soon!

Perfect book during these times of crisis

This book has been especially helpful during these times of crisis. It has been very helpful in getting my daughter to make sense of the tragedy and put it all in perspective. Thank you.
