<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Named one of the 10 Best Parenting Books of 1993 by Child magazine, this book "not only gives parents a great understanding of children in the middle years, but gives them excellent advice on how to support them better".--Washington Post.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Playground Politics</i> is the first book to look at the neglected middle years of childhood--from kindergarten to junior high--and to help parents understand the enormous emotional challenges these children are facing. In witty, vivid stories, Dr. Greenspan brings to life the major emotional milestones of these years, when children move from the shelter of the family to the harsh rivalries of playground politics, and toward an independent self image. His empathy for the turmoil children bring home from school, and for the parents who try to help, is deep and reassuring.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Stanley I. Greenspan, M.D., </b> author of the widely used and praised books <i>The Challenging Child</i> and (with Serena Wieder, Ph.D.) <i>Engaging Autism, </i> is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at George Washington University Medical School and lives in Bethesda, Maryland. <p/><b>Jacqueline Salmon</b>, a staff writer on the <i>Washington Post, </i> is the mother of two young children and has lived the very issues outlined in this book.
