Special Book Review

"The Irreducible Needs of Children: What Every Child Must Have to Grow, Learn, and Flourish", T. Berry Brazelton, MD &
Stanley I. Greenspan, MD

There are children in our world who are being failed - by parents, caregivers, and even society. If we can learn and understand exactly what a child's basic needs are, there may be a chance to save these children.

The book "The Irreducible Needs of Children", accomplishes the goal of describing the seven basic needs of a child - what they need in order to grow and thrive. Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, and Dr. Stanley Greenspan have both brought forth challenging information, including discussing methods to change society and people's actions & responses in order to suit a child's needs.

There may be situations where parents and caregivers may not be able to provide certain necessities to their children (ie: single parents & full-time parenting). After reading this book, these parents (who may be doing all they can for their children), may not agree with the recommendations or they may even feel inadequate as a provider. For these situations, the authors give suggestions on how to best find a suitable substitute, so the child will still receive the care he or she needs. There are also the other needs that must be met - we should all try as best as we can to meet each one.

My ParenTime recommends "The Irreducible Needs of Children", especially to those who have the ability to make changes in laws affecting children. Our children are our future - don't they at least deserve the basic necessities?
