Editorial reviews

Warning Signs: A Guidebook for Parents: How to Read the Early Signals of Low Self-Esteem, Addiction, and Hidden Violence in Your Kids provides adults with essential clues to recognizing signs of future trouble in children. Author John Kelly is a former addict, a parent, and he runs a clinic for addicts. Kelly posits that poor self-image is a breeding ground for violence and self-destruction, and that it evidences itself in recognizable early-stage behaviors. These behaviors can be stemmed before they become pathologies, and self-esteem can be bolstered through nurturing. Johnny Heller soberly narrates this accessible text, which is filled with salient examples of the corrosive effect of low self-esteem and solid instruction on how to increase confidence in children.
