Recenzii

Jones-Smith (a clinical psychologist and counselor educator) offers an important, well-written account of how parents and educators can become more directly involved in the management of children's violent behavior--a strategy not as strongly addressed in national programs and policies. This eminently readable book is more than a simple how-to account for the nurturing of nonviolent behavior. It also introduces readers to the history of scientific studies of attachment behavior and other contemporary theories of anger and defiance in children. Jones-Smith's careful juxtaposition of theory and recommended actions results in a volume that is useful not only to parents and educators but also to college students interested in the application of development theory in family and social settings. The volume should also appeal to health professionals interested in updating their knowledge of developmental research in this area. Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates; professionals; general readers.
Nurturing Nonviolent Children: A Guide For Parents, Educators and Counselors offers parents and libraries catering to them a fine blend of social issues assessment, health and parenting skills by a longtime psychologist and counselor who is also a parent and past teacher. This volume focuses on research and case histories alike, discussing the growing problem of youth violence, its causes, and how adults can use specific strategies to nurture nonviolence as a lifestyle. The blend of social issues assessment, psychology and parenting techniques offers a satisfying blend of research-based self-help techniques perfect for both school and public libraries.
