very fearful child and I found value in their suggestions. It is written in a easy-to-read manner and doesn't take long to finish. Not sure that I would suggest buying it...but a great library find for those looking for a little extra information on extreme behaviors.

I thought this book had some great information in it. I think many of the tips and approaches would work for any family whether their children are adopted or not or whether they have special behavioral needs or not. There are chapters on disarming fear, dealing with defiance, teaching life values,
