"Every day children are damaged by physical abuse or neglect. Even more often children are hurt on the inside by emotional abuse. Their wounds are hidden but very real. This pervasive brokenness of children is a kind of Jack and Jill syndrome that infects our society and damages our young, generation after generation." "This book is about putting lives back together again and trying to prevent future brokenness. It's for every adult who cares about children. It's for every parent or teacher or caregiver who wants to help children get through the pain and become whole. It's for anyone who desires to keep future generations from being hurt." "If you care enough to help, this book will guide you in teaching children to cope, solve problems, and deal with the dangers. You'll learn how to give hurting children the encouragement, attention, education, and love they need to grow into healthy, well-adjusted adults."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
