Troubles of children and adolescents - Ved P. Varma

The path to adulthood is never a smooth one and this volume, written by experts in their individual fields, details the social and emotional troubles of growing up, and how to cope with them. Every child must learn to deal with and control their emotions as part of adolescence: this is not a new problem. However, in today's `latchkey' society, the children may not receive the guidance they need, and their feelings of anger or jealousy, for example, can be released in an unpredictable and even violent manner.

Troubles of Children and Adolescents describes the problem areas which can arise in children and adolescents, so that their presence can be detected, but the book also identifies those problems which are likely to be short-lived, passing away as the child develops into adulthood.

Is their behaviour normal? Can anything be done? The answers lie within this book.
