Living with the Boogeyman: Helping Your Child Cope with Fear, Terrorism, and Living in a World of Uncertainty
A Reassuring Guide to Parenting in Troubled Times Boys and girls have always worried about the monsters--the boogeymen--that their imaginations create out of normal fears and the angst of growing up. The terrifying events since September 11, however, have added a dimension of disturbing reality to their monster fears. That's why now, more than ever, your children need strong, committed, and wise parenting. In Living with the Boogeyman, father and noted child psychologist Dr. Richard Bromfield offers clear, reassuring advice and a broader and more farsighted vision of parenting in this new world. Inside you'll discover: ·How fear psychologically impacts your child ·What, when, how and how much to discuss with your child ·Strategies to help put anger in its place ·How to foster resilience in the face of danger ·How traumatic experiences needn't traumatize ·And much more This sensitive and enlightening guide will advise, comfort, and inspire you as a parent so that you, in turn, can do the same for your child in these troubling and uncertain times. "Empowers parents to raise children who are active participants in creating a more peaceful world." --Jody Williams, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
