Klappentext

Written by a mother, expressly for other parents, this work supports parents as they help their kids manage life with mental illness. It offers insight into the various life "hurdles" every mom or dad must guide their children over—but which loom higher and more frightening when a child’s emotional disorder is thrown into the mix.
