Product Description
People who wouldn't dream of blaming parents for a child's asthma or diabetes are often quick to blame bad parenting for a child's hyperactivity, depression, or school phobia. The parents, in turn, often blame their children, believing that they're lazy or rebellious. Even worse, the children with these psychological problems often blame themselves, convinced that they're just bad kids. In It's Nobody's Fault, esteemed child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Harold S. Kopelwicz at last puts an end to this pointless--and erroneous--cycle of blame and helps parents get the help they need for their troubled children.
Written in an easy, anecdotal style and filled with fascinating stories of real children and their parents, It's Nobody's Fault is an indispensable guide for anyone who lives or works with children who need help.

 A must have for parents with dysregulated kids.
I continue to refer to this book often for both suggestions and strength. Very well written. I was thrilled about the resourceful information to help me with my dual diagnosis son with complex needs.

It's Nobody's Fault ( sstevejoines )
This is an excellent resource for parents, health care professionals, clergy and extended family members. The author effectively dispels the myths surrounding mental illness and other disorders, with an emphasis on pediatric and adolescent issues. I wish I'd had this book years ago when our children were diagnosed with ADD and learning disabilities. Extended family members felt that my husband and I were bad parents and that our kids needed more discipline. I'm happy to say that all three are successful young people. Thanks to the author for his sensitive approach to these disorders.

 Slightly helpful ( delawaremom )
I purchased this book hoping it would help allay some of my guilt over my son's disorder. Although it didn't help me very much, it's probably worth reading if you are struggling with these issues.

Questioning Medicine?
If you are a parent and are questioning whether or not you should medicate your child, you should read this book. No parent wants to put their child on medicine. This book has helped me realize that medicine is needed for certain disorders and therapy alone does not work all of the time. This book is very informative and will help you understand that yes, medicine does help along with therapy. I enjoyed reading and realize that I am not alone and there is help.

Parents of Children with ADHD: Stop Kicking Yourself!!! ( mpearrell3 )
This book was so helpful to my husband and me when our son was diagnosed with ADHD. This really helped us to stop second-guessing ourselves and offers helpful advice on the issues of finding a good doctor and whether or not to medicate. Though learning that ADHD is a brain disorder was painful, it was comforting to learn that there was nothing we could have done to prevent it!
