In her soft-cover book, Farias covers a wide range of topics that may face parents and children in today's school beyond bullying, gangs, and bulimia. They include, among others, learning difficulties, behavior challenges, peer pressure, drug and alcohol abuse, and even technology influences. All of these and other challenges may readily affect a child's ability to be safe, healthy and successful in school. "Parents must be aware of the issues that can affect their children's happiness and well-being", says Farias.
Ms. Farias brings 20 years experience as a mental health therapist and school counselor to the table. She has compiled much of her professional experience into a practical guide to help parents with their complex jobs in raising confident, responsible, happy children. Farias is also the author of many e-books, such as Children and Substance Abuse, Children and the Internet, and Adults and Stress.
