Inhaltsangabe

My kindergartner insists on wearing the same dress day after day.  What should I do?
My twelve-year-old is a target of the class bully.  Should I intervene?  
My four-year-old is coming home with other kids' toys in his pocket.  Should I be concerned?

Is my child normal? Every parent has asked the question at one time or another. Now this wise and compassionate guide, written by an expert in children's mental health, offers reassuring words for worried parents--plus concrete ways to spot the difference between a normal stage of development...and a true problem. In most cases, childhood problems will clear up with a healthy dose of common sense and loving parental attention. But sometimes professional help or medication is needed. This one-stop reference book--organized by symptom and covering everything from tantrums to learning disorders--tells parents what's "normal," what's not, how best to help your child through a rocky period, and when to get an expert's help.
