I have to say I am quite surprised at this book. I have ALWAYS loved Dr. Lehman's books and the advice he has given. He is a Christian author. So, when looking at my review options, I was so excited to read this one and to be able to share the info. with my grand babies, and other young children that I'm in contact with, should any of the conversations arise. This book, Helping Your Child through the Tough Days, is not written as a "christian book". It is written to the secular audience. I get it, that allows for more books to be sold, but I expected more from Dr. Lehman.
There is good advice and great conversations ideas on various topics. I know when my kids were little, school shootings was NEVER anything I had to discuss, nor was social media, and all that comes with that, but that didn't mean I wasn't a very present parent. In the end I do think that that is what Dr. Lehman would say is what is most important.... being there for your kids.
For me, I know the most important thing I could do for my kids is .... Listening to them. Talking to them. Letting them know that no matter what the situation is, I am there for them and together with God, we can get through anything together!

This is so hard for parents today; how to care for our hurting children without being a “helicopter” parent. We have to nurture them while teaching them how to deal with life.
While Dr. Lehman generally offers good advice, I don’t agree with everything he says. But that’s okay because as parents we won’t agree with all the advice we’re given, and must know how to separate the good from the not so good. I would like to see more encouragement given to parents who are doing their best to help their kids.
The book is divided into two parts. During the first half Dr. Lehman discusses specific challenges faced by today’s child, and how a parent can handle things. The second half is question and answer about frequent situations. I think this format is helpful to parents.
While I can’t unreservedly recommend this book, I can encourage parents to read it and glean what they can from it as I believe Dr. Lehman has our children’s best interest at heart.
I received a complimentary copy of this book but was not required to leave a review.

I thought this was a practical and relevant book. It talks about the issues children deal with on a daily basis and captured my attention from the first few pages. Dr. Leman divides these issues into two categories, those things that are “out there”, things that are happening in the world, such as violence in the world and discrimination. The second category the author labels “in here” which includes issues in the family environment such as divorce. He also addresses death in the family, where a child experiences grief, as well as other common fears children face. In addition, he covers how parents should react to difficult situations in a child’s life and how to teach a child to cope with those difficulties. The last third of the book Dr. Leman answers questions that pertain to the topics discussed earlier. The questions and answer section takes his principles and applies them to actual situations where he expounds with more detail. I thought the concepts laid out in the book were transferable to other life situations, including adults or grown children. For a nonfiction book, it is easy to follow, well organized and easy to understand. It offers common sense solutions and good advice.
Note: After reading this book you may feel a certain level of inadequacy for errors made in the past.
I would highly recommend reading this book if you are a parent.
