1) Paperback Book Parenting a Bipolar Child: What to Do & Why by New Harbinger Publications. I have been parenting bipolar children for 25 years. My youngest is now 5. I wish this book had been available when I was raising my oldest. There are many good books on BP in children (and I have most of them), but if I could only have one, this would be the one. The section on the importance of sleep habits was worth the price of the book all by itself.¤ 2) Paperback Book Parenting a Bipolar Child: What to Do & Why by New Harbinger Publications. Having read nearly everything in this genre, I found this book discardable. It pales in comparison to, among others, "The Bipolar Child" by Demitri and Janice Papolos, "A Sourcebook for Families Coping With Mental Illness" by M.R. Berren, and the work of Kay Redfield Jamison.¤ 3) Paperback Book Parenting a Bipolar Child: What to Do & Why by New Harbinger Publications. As the parent of a child with bipolar, I have collected many books on the subject since my teenage son was diagnosed five years ago. PARENTING A BIPOLAR CHILD now holds a prominent place by my bedside. It is clear, concise and compassionate. It helps me to navigate through the difficult times and reminds me of the basic ways I can help my child succeed. I have given a copy to our pediatrician. I want to give it to all his teachers.¤ 4) Paperback Book Parenting a Bipolar Child: What to Do & Why by New Harbinger Publications. The book provides thorough and accessible coverage of a complex condition. You´re not going to study medical books but you do need to be informed and you don´t need to be talked down to.
If you have a child who at times appears to be incredibly lazy, irritable, difficult and impulsive, then maybe you have a regular teenager - or maybe things are too far gone for "normal". Maybe you have a sick child.
Most parents of bipolar kids have waited for their child to "just snap out of it" and plenty of medical professional give similarly lame advice. Bipolar disorder is serious. You need good information and you need it right away. If you are looking to come up to speed quickly then get this book.¤ 5) Paperback Book Parenting a Bipolar Child: What to Do & Why by New Harbinger Publications. This is an informative overview. The personal stories can be a bit disheartening but it is a worthwhile read.¤ 6) Paperback Book Parenting a Bipolar Child: What to Do & Why by New Harbinger Publications. When a child or adolescent is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, it’s hard for his or her parents to know exactly what to do. What constitutes an effective therapeutic approach to help their bipolar child navigate childhood and adolescence? In this book, a psychiatrist and a psychologist, both specializing in mood disorders, offer a comprehensive overview of the available treatment options and most effective parenting strategies for dealing with this serious condition. In addition to a thorough explanation of the often necessary medical treatments for bipolar disorder, the book also details the importance of emotional regulation in bipolar children. Techniques for dealing with displays of rage, anger, and irritability in children are covered. The book also addresses sleep deprivation, one of the most common symptoms of childhood bipolar disorder, and the issues young people with bipolar disorder face in school. Subjects of particular interest to parents of older children and adolescents are covered, such as substance abuse, eating disorders, violence, and suicide. All of this information is complemented by advice on parental self-care and integrating the care of the bipolar child with the needs of the rest of the family.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
