Author Description

Talking to Parents illuminates the emotional and psychological issues in raising young children. Drawn largely from Winnicott's wonderful and never-published talks to parents, this remarkable work brings the insights of child psychiatry to the everyday care of children. Relevant to all parents who are concerned about their child's emotional development, this book addresses such perennial subjects as "saying no," jealousy, how to instill trust and security, and the dangers of intrusive "teaching." No one who cares for or about children should be without these gems of wit and deep understanding.
