There are children with whom it is very difficult for parents. Is it the mistakes of the parents themselves or the innate characteristics of the child’s temperament? The truth is somewhere in the middle, says Stanley Greenspan, a child psychiatrist, one of the world’s largest specialists in correcting children’s emotional disorders.
There are children with whom it is very difficult for parents. Is it the mistakes of the parents themselves or the innate characteristics of the child’s temperament? The truth is somewhere in the middle, says Stanley Greenspan, a child psychiatrist, one of the world’s largest specialists in correcting children’s emotional disorders. In the book, Greenspan talks about the intricacies of dealing with hypersensitive, self-absorbed, uncontrollable, absent-minded or aggressive children. The inaccurate translation of the name upsets: in the original The Challenging Child, that is, a child who challenges, requires effort. This name more accurately corresponds to the humanistic spirit of the book: if a child whose nervous system is malfunctioning turns out to be a tyrant for his family, then he himself suffers unwittingly from this. To help a child who is having a hard time is the purpose of this book.
