If you are a parent, then nobody has to tell you that parenting is probably the hardest job anybody will ever have. Sometimes, in spite of our very best efforts to provide our children with what they need, problems arise. Although it can feel overwhelming, frightening or embarrassing to think about, the consequences of not seeking help can be devastating. If you have concerns about how your child is doing socially, emotionally or behaviorally, then this booklet is for you. It has important information about many common problems that kids experience and what families can do to help.
