A Helping Hand with children
 In A Helping Hand With Children, Malcolm Southwood has written a sensitive, logical guide explaining children's reactions to how they are parented. He writes of the different personality types - the Serious Child, the Fun-loving Child, and the Passive Child - and how the way their basic needs are met determines their future responses as adults.
One of the most important concepts in Mr. Southwood's newest book is for parents or caregivers to love and accept the child as he or she is - not to place adult demands on them that they are not capable of meeting.
In concise language, Mr. Southwood explores the concepts of personality needs - Physical, Emotional and Spiritual - and how parents can support their child by supplying these basic needs. With illuminating stories, Mr. Southwood illustrates how adult expectations can lead to unexpected problems in the child's future.
Excerpts:
Look for the happiness in your children, not their potential. Because it is in their happiness that you will find their potential.
Cynthia explained that her claustrophobia had crept up on her slowly. At first, without realizing she had a phobia, she began to notice she was avoiding elevators, preferring instead to use the stairs . . .
What was most interesting in this case was the trigger that caused the fear to surface later in life.
Unable to stand for more than a few minutes . . . During healing, Maureen told me that she was a little girl she had once climbed out of her bedroom window and slipped on the shingle roof . . . Maureen had endured the gamut of the usual therapies and surgery. If only someone in the medical world had known about body language, eight years of unhappiness could have been avoided.
