This book briefly outlines psychological perspectives of the values, attitudes and behaviour of parents in influencing a child’s personality. The volume discusses important factors and family surroundings that influence a growing child’s development and various techniques that parents and teachers may use to inculcate children’s growth and well-being. Various discipline techniques that parents can use with the child and ways in which they can enhance their child’s creativity and achievement levels are explained. It also discusses the causes, signs and types of learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia and developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia), and behaviour disorders like anxiety disorders, conduct disorders, oppositional defiant disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), aggressive behaviour in children and the speech disorder stuttering. The volume gives an elaborate understanding of the diverse changes, conflicts, emotional turmoil and identity crises that adolescent children go through and how parents and teachers can help them to handle this transitional stage.

This book will be of interest to psychologists, parents, students and teachers of psychology and scholars of child development, as well as professionals involved in working with children and adolescents, such as teachers, counsellors, doctors, nurses and social workers.
