Summary: Do Your Kids Know You Love Them
Review: An extraodinarily insightful book which is a must read for all parents. The authors have taken a complex subject and made it understandable and educational. Although we love our children, we don't often, if ever realize how that love is perceived. Our words, our actions, our intentions and timing may be perceived entirely different than what we think. Fred Streit and Beatrice Krauss provide much needed guidence and insight for all parents. Those who truely want to be a positive influence in the lives of their children should read this book. For such a difficult topic, the book is an easy read. Parents, educators, therapists who work with children and families will benefit from this fine work.

Summary: The Importance of Children Feeling Loved
Review: Drs. Streit and Krauss have taken a most difficult topic - one of critical importance to parents, teachers, educators and even parents to be - and reduced it to terms with which a layman may feel comfortable and secure. No catch words from therapeutic theory, doctoral dissertations or statistical abstracts are to be found. The authors, instead, give us a straight forward, hard hitting look at children, including adolescents, and the way they perceive and interpret parental actions. Do it yourself questions at the end of each chapter are well focused and make the major points of the chapter indelible. In brief, a rather short book with a great deal to say - one that belongs on the reading list of parents, grandparents, educators and anyone with the least interest in the topic.
