This book is based on questions that all parents have about their
children and that they might want to ask a childcare professional,
if they were given the chance. Children s relationships with their
parents, their relationship with siblings and outside world are
discussed in detail as well as questions on what is normal
behaviour and when help should be sought. There are no set rules
for raising children but certain situations might be better
resolved after learning about other similar cases and hearing a
professional s advice. Drawing from his extensive experience as a
child psychoanalyst (and a father), Dr. Brafman offers his thoughts
on some most common problems faced when raising children. Questions
tackled in the book include: Is it possible to "baby" your child
too much? How important is "quality time"? When does "making
allowances" for a child become "spoiling" or
"inappropriate"?Discipline -- how to --without physical means.When
is a child "too naughty?"How to deal with sibling rivalry -- when
is it normal? When does it become inappropriate? How to be fair to
both kids?My child has been accused of bullying, what should I
do?How do marital conflicts affect the way parents relate to their
child?"There are so many books available telling parents how to
bring up their children that the question arises: why another one?
I want to believe that the present text offers two features that
put it in a small minority of the books found in the bookstores.
First, it tries to focus on situations as perceived by the child,
rather than the usual observer s view of the child s behaviour.
Second, it offers only a minimal number of answers. Instead, I have
tried to discuss each question in such a way as to open up various
possible solutions and leaving the final choice to the parents.
This is because I have come to believe that finding an answer to a
problem is much easier when one understands what relevant issues
are involved. Because no two children are completely equal and the
circumstances in which parents bring up each child are always
changing, I think that an outsider can only give valid advice if he
actually meets that particular set of parents and children. My
intention, therefore, was to stimulate thought, rather than offer
answers that, however plausible, might be of no actual relevance to
the problems of the individual reader." --From the Introduction"
