This book has so much to offer the Youth Worker and Professional person in giving insight into ways to deal with young people and the feeling that also affect you when dealing with young people in crisis

Whether you are a professional or parent, you will benefit from the insight and pracitcal techniques Charlie Appelstein provides in "No Such Thing as a Bad Kid." Appelstein combines research, experience, and humor in this marvelous work on how to help kids grow and manage their problems. It is hard to believe that a book that is so easy and fun to read could be so helpful. As a therapist and staff development trainer in a residential treatment setting, I use the concepts and techniques in this book EVERY day.

As a parent of two ADHD children, I found this book to be a milestone as a common sense approach to dealing with troubled kids. Appelstein shares his wealth of experience in working with children from the inside of the parent out. I have already found his insight to be invaluable.
