RAISING CHILDREN WHO REFUSED TO BE RAISED

This book, now in its second printing, is an accumulation of knowledge acquired from the career of a psychologist/foster parent, and the founder of Jasper Mountain. Dr. Dave Ziegler discusses the most difficult to manage children and he addresses two audiences: first he speaks to parents in plain English concerning what works with very difficult children, and second, he offers to
therapists ideas to help their important work with these children. This book does not address one or even several problems with children; instead it covers all of the most common serious problems with difficult children and how these children usually have multiple problems. With practical examples and a sense of humor, the author provides a way to understand these children and more importantly how to help them and the families who care for them. The methods offered have a strong basis in theory and practice. Dave Ziegler has been a parent to hundreds of emotionally disturbed children and a therapist to thousands more. These methods have brought international attention to Jasper Mountain. Nearly every page has ideas to make you a better parent or therapist to the child no one knows how to reach. Raising Children who Refuse to Be Raised is a handbook no biological, foster or adoptive parent should be without. Anyone who lives or works with children with multiple problems who are also frightened, traumatized and angry will benefit from the advice of this master counselor and foster parent.
