He's a good guy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
An enjoyable forthright book to help you make comfortable decisions facing difficult issues. The uncondescending tone of Dr. Balter's book makes one wish that folks who call themselves medical professionals were as decent as he. Know that "professional counsel" should make you feel better, and offer helpful solutions to medical and behavioral issues. You'll walk away with a sense of peace knowing that you can safely decide who to seek guidance from. Balter's friendly opinions are a barometer on what kind of professionals to steer towards, and away from. Fixing a problem shouldn't be a big deal. Know that professionals view a child's problem as a "family" problem; you can't fix a child without fixing the entire family organism as a whole. If you say "fix my child" but don't want to involve yourself, they'll view you as in denial. And maybe you are; just be aware of this, and look in the mirror. Most of us run from self-examination, as it can be quite painful to live consciously.
