COMPASSIONATE, WISE ADVICE ON THE TOUGHEST PROBLEMS FACING PARENTS
TODAY.
In this invaluable source of information and inspiration, Dr. T.
Berry Brazelton shares the insight, strength, and sheer love of
children that have made him a national treasure.
Families today are in transition and the parents of young children
can no longer simply look to the experiences of their "own" parents
for guidance in our rapidly changing world. Drawing on the
experiences of five of the real families who appeared on his cable
television series "What Every Baby Knows," Dr. Brazelton now
tackles such contemporary issues and crises as divorce and
stepparenting, the involved father, parental rivalry,
grandparenting, infertility, loss of a parent, adoption, and
illness in the family.
Dr. Brazelton illustrates each issue dramatically, giving us an
intimate look at the lives and hearts of the families involved.
After drawing deft, vivid profiles of the parents, children, and
grandparents, Brazelton shows how each crisis upsets the stability
of the family, how each member copes with the problem, and, most
importantly, how the family as a whole eventually regains its
balance and continues to grow. In the concluding chapter, "When to
Seek Help," Brazelton offers his advice on when, why, and how an
overwhelmed family can reach out for professional assistance in
crisis-solving.
In analyzing these crises and pointing to solutions, Brazelton
writes with the warm reassurance and candor that have made him a
trusted guide for parents and physicians alike.
