If Kids Just Came With Instruction Sheets: Creating a World Without Child Abuse

From the publisher: Your two-year-old will most likely run gleefully out the front door - naked as the day he was born! The four-year-old will call you dirty names, and the teen will drag race on Main Street on Friday night! When the little darlings start acting like children and not like the perfect angels of our fantasies, it is time to do some detective work. Is the child going through a phase, or is there an underlying problem? But a problem is not a problem if you can fix it - whether we are raising our children or helping those of the global village. This book deals with connections, not just single answers. Whether we are exploring behavior problems, learning disabilities, attention problems, delinquency or drug use, rarely does just one remedy apply. Neither do all remedies apply to every child. Even if only one of the many approaches suggested in this book helps only one child in a hundred, and that happens to be your child, or a child in your acquaintence, this may be the most important book you ever read.
