Common Parenting Issues
Handouts for Professionals Working with Children & Families
by Cathy Bin

This CD-ROM resource pack has been designed for professionals working with children and families, and is an invaluable asset for health centres, children's centres, playgroups, nurseries or schools.

Full Description:   

  • Each of the handouts focus on a single issue. Topics include sleep, eating, behaviour, language and communication delays, attention deficits, sibling relationships, anxiety, jealousy, depression, bullying, death, divorce and trauma.
  • Designed as a high-quality leaflet, the 51 four-page handouts can be printed directly from the CD or photocopied from the book and either made available to individuals, or used to develop an accessible information rack for parents.
  • The leaflets cover the full range of issues encountered by parents of children up to the age of sixteen, and provide clearly written guidance on how to help children with some of the common problems encountered in family life.

    This is a practical resource with a wide range of applications that will be of particular use to surgeries, family centres, community mental health teams, schools, nurseries, social workers, and psychology or psychiatry departments.

    Readership
    Any professional working directly with children and families: health visitors, school nurses, nursery nurses, teachers, psychologists (clinical and educational), child psychiatrists, paediatricians, speech & language therapists, OTs, multi-disciplinary teams, social workers and GPs.
