Combining case studies with new research, Dr. Nowinski gives parents the information and the tools to work through the transition. Written in a warm and authoritative tone, Nowinski will teach parents to:
· Focus on your child’s new day-to-day reality
· Identify early signs of trouble
· Help your child through the separation process and help them develop coping skills that will remain with them through life
