 An important choice not just for parents, but for educators and any involved in working with children. February 8, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Once a child or adolescent has been diagnosed as bipolar, how can a parent help? First step is to consult Parenting a Bipolar Child: it offers the basics explaining mood disorders, treatment options, and parenting techniques for dealing with emotional instability in a child. Adolescents and their special needs are included in the definition of 'child', with a different set of tips for this age group, making it an important choice not just for parents, but for educators and any involved in working with children.

Parenting a Bipolar Child is a must-have for parents and educators. January 31, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Drs. Austin and Faedda have gone a long way to demystify childhood and adolescent bipolar disorder and the challenges of proper diagnosis.
Their chapter on Medication Choices is especially interesting and useful. It discusses the newest medications available for bipolar disorder and their possible side effects. Parents and educators will find the chapter on School Decisions to be realistic and they can benefit from the information and recommendations given on this difficult and emotional subject.
The subject matter is presented in an orderly and friendly format. The reader feels that Drs. Faedda and Austin are sharing valuable information and not being preached or lectured to.
The book's Web Site and Resource listings are current sources of referrals and information about childhood bipolar disorder and an excellent References section is included for bibliographic information on additional readings.
Parenting a Bipolar Child: What to Do & Why has earned a well-deserved place on a private and public library shelf.

Raising a bipolar child is a frightening and frustrating experience, causing many parents to feel helpless and overwhelmed. This new book by Drs. Austin and Faedda unlocks some of the mysteries of this childhood mood disorder and opens the door for parents to learn effective parenting skills as well as how to find the best resources and be their child's best advocate. In this user-friendly book, reflecting years of clinical experience by both doctors, parents can understand diagnostic criteria as well as the most up to date and effective treatment options. No parent of a child with bipolar disorder should be without access to the cutting-edge information and tools inside this book.

Parenting a Bipolar Child: What to Do and Why November 9, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I found Parenting a Bipolar Child: What to Do and Why a wonderful addition to my home reference library. Dr. Faedda has so much knowledge of the intricacies of the illness, from how the child experiences the disorder to the way the parents, family members, teachers and school administrators respond to the children. Its emphasis on forming a team with your child so that you become their biggest advocate, the childs need for structure, sleep and a medication regime, to what stressors affect our children the most, are all actions that can be easily implemented and can have such a positive effect on the childs stability. The book was so in tune with my daily experiences as a parent and didn't have that "clinical" feel to me. It made me feel like there really is a doctor who listens and understands what the parents and the children go through on a daily basis.
