"This is a wise book," said Margaret Reynolds, head librarian of the C. Burr Artz Library in Frederick, Maryland, in a recent newspaper review. This book contains hundreds of analogies & strategies which counselors, parents & educators can use to reach through a kid's defensive shielding & touch the living being inside. It gives the reader high impact analogies for a wide range of situations indexed by problem. For example, when a kid says he doesn't think he has the strength to follow through on a task, instead of saying, "sure you do!," the author suggests saying "We're like teabags. We don't know how strong we are till we get into hot water." The method in this book helps kids & their families bring into focus & cope with normal developmental problems & crises. It is an indispensible source of images for helping kids with academic & social problems hook new learning into old. Dr. Lockhart has developed the power of this method both in his private counseling practice & in an alternative school he founded (featured on the front page of the Washington Post 12/5/85) that has for the last 14 years continued to serve kids with academic & social problems.
