"Excellent and much needed; it offers children hope and a sense of
control." -Kathleen Michael, M.H.S.S., Therapist & Consultant,
Toronto, Ontario Has drug or alcohol abuse in your family caused
your child to become withdrawn or to act out? Is addiction in a
family member contributing to upset and stress in your child? Do
you want to help your child understand the problem and communicate
about his/her feelings? Do you want to help your child develop
healthier coping strategies? I Can Be Me is a helping book for
professionals and parents who want to help children of alcoholic
parents. Written for children ages 4 to 12, it can be read by a
child alone or worked through with a caring adult. Simple line
drawings and text speak to children in a language they understand
and are based on the real experiences of children with addicted
parents. Written from the perspective of children whose parents are
addicted to alcohol and various other drugs, this book helps
children take off the masks that hide their true feelings and
educates them about alcohol or drug abuse in the family.
Entertaining drawings and simple text make this book easy to
understand and invite children to add their own thoughts and
feelings. Children often feel alone in homes where alcoholism or
drug abuse is present. I Can Be Me helps children understand more
about addiction and realize that they are not to blame for their
parents' problems. Through a series of creative exercises and
activities children learn about healthy coping strategies and that
they are not alone. Eight separate units make this book an ideal
companion to counseling or support group sessions. Parents or
counselors can also use a single section to address the unique
concerns of an individual child.
