This book is for those who would like to learn how to simply but effectively help a child of any age overcome problems. Often, adults tend to view children's problems as symptoms of some kind of disorder that needs to be treated. And for children, the problem is the lack of skills that are worth mastering. The technique for mastering skills, developed by the famous Finnish psychiatrist Ben Furman and his colleagues, is based precisely on the “children's” approach. Its goal is to help children learn to do things that will help them overcome their problems. The book is addressed to all interested, caring parents, as well as psychologists, social workers, and teachers.
