Description: A Thought is Just a Thought by Leslie Talley Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Powerfully illustrated, "A Thought Is Just a Thought is the compelling and sympathetic story of Jenny, who suffers from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It describes how Jenny visits the doctor with her mother, who notices that Jenny is haunted by fears that she tries to keep at bay by tapping the wall with her fingers or by avoiding the white squares of the kitchens black-and-white-tiled floor. The kindly doctor, Dr. Mike, helps Jenny overcome her fears by showing her how to rethink the "bad thoughts" so that, eventually, she stops dwelling on her fears and realizes that a thought is, after all, just a thought. "A Thought Is Just a Thought is the first book for both children and parents confronting the surprisingly common childhood illness of OCD. It is an excellent resource for parents and for doctors who wish to help children understand their debilitating psychological illness. Publisher Description In this companion to his first book, An Unchanged Mind, John A. McKinnon provides invaluable advice to all parents of teenagers and young adults. Using case studies gathered from his years helping parents with troubled adolescents, Dr. McKinnon explores the ways that adolescent development can be derailed in todays complex culture and how parents can prevent this from happening in the first place. Dr. McKinnon writes about how parents need to recognize their children as individuals, with their own feelings and opinions, as they start to establish their separate identities as young people and begin to negotiate their way through high school and beyond. He also makes clear that parents must continue to establish limits. These allow children to flourish and further their goals within boundaries that enable them to learn the consequences of their actions (both good and bad), thus providing a fundamental lesson of being an adult. Dr. McKinnon explains that, in tandem, parental recognition and limit-setting promote maturity. Packed full of examples and containing sensible and practical advice for parents of pre-teens or teenagers, To Change a Mind is an essential guidebook for parents seeking to make their lives-and the lives of their children-richer and more fulfilling, as the family navigates together the potentially treacherous seas of adolescence.
