Publisher's summary

Although the majority of us don't recall our formative years, our earliest memories can stay with us for a long time and have an impact well into adulthood. Many of us are still affected by the things that we went through as children, which continue to impact our happiness, well-being, achievements, and so much more. We often wish things had been different or that someone had stepped in to help us while we were children.

Not to downplay anything that we went through as kids, but in today’s new world, children often have it ten times harder. They have access to the entire world in the palm of their hands, literally, which can both be good and bad. From cyberbullying to child abuse, eating disorders, low self-esteem and social pressure, Children Are Struggling in this New World, looks at these five challenges that children have to overcome today. The book carefully explores the causes, effects, and coping mechanisms of these problems, how they pervade adulthood, and how children can heal from the effects of these problems. Very short stories are included to provoke insight and aid in the explanation of the seriousness of these problems.

As parents, teachers, therapists, guardians, counsellors, etc. we can make a difference in our children’s lives to help them become healthy functioning adults.

Good information

Informative book to help parents and caregivers

It was a good book. The author did a great job and the examples were helpful in personalizing the subject matter of cyberbullying, eating disorders and the issues that teens and young adults are dealing with. I was glad to see that there were resources for the issues this book talked about.
The voice of the narrator was clear however her inflection was off in some portions of the book. She mispronounced neglect several times. I wish the audio was a better quality, but I still enjoyed listening to her. Better recording equipment will definitely make a difference. Great job overall.
