In response to the eruption of teen violence in our schools, noted psychiatrist Peter Breggin delivers a passionately argued yet highly prescriptive blueprint for healing our relationships with our children.. }Children have been sliding down our priority list for too long. Busy parents give children leftover timethose few remaining minutes after work and recreation. Stressed teachers have put conformity and good grades ahead of stimulating children to love learning. The many adults who are motivated to do their best often find themselves at a loss over what to do. Our children, desperately missing us in their lives, look in the wrong places for solace and support. While only a few become openly violent, many more feel humiliated, frustrated, lonely, and angry.From recasting our attitudes as parents and getting more involved in schools as volunteers, to restructuring class sizes, limiting homework, and fostering honest dialog about the pressures in our society, Reclaiming Our Children shows us the way to lasting peace with and among our children. Beginning with a dramatic shift in adult priorities that places children at the center of our lives, Peter Breggin demonstrates how we can create loving, disciplined, and inspiring relationships with all of our children. }

Good. Good Ships From Canada From Booklist: Breggin, a medical doctor, explores the issues behind some of the recent troubling behavior of American youth as well as the changing adult attitudes toward children He starts by examining the Columbine shootings and branches into other distress signals from youth, including the long and sorrowful history of urban youth violence Breggin views the slow and uncoordinated response to Columbine as a metaphor for the nation's inability or unwillingness to come to grips with the sociological and psychological problems of youth: divorce, racism, alienation, and isolation caused by technology, drug abuse, and neglect Breggin cautions against relying on counseling and drug therapy to address societal ills, as was suggested in the wake of Columbine (As it turns out, the shooters had already been involved in counseling and drug treatment ) The nation is addressing troubled youth by "'"using drugs the way gardeners use herbicides, "'" he writes Instead, Br.
