For more than 30 years, Dr. Dave Ziegler has been a psychologist, therapist, and foster parent to hundreds of the most challenging children. His methods have helped these “impossible” children – and their parents, teachers, and caregivers – to get back on the right track. He has done what many therapists don’t know how to do: help raise troubled youths, who are the exceptions to all the usual rules, into healthy, successful human beings. Dr. Ziegler is the Executive Director of Jasper Mountain, a renowned treatment program for some of society’s most damaged children. He is quick to point out that he has been privileged to have had the finest education and training available: his principal teachers have not been in graduate school, but rather are the children discussed in these pages.
From the author of Raising Children Who Refuse to be Raised and Traumatic Experience and the Brain comes this companion volume in the difficult children trilogy. Achieving Success with Impossible Children combines popular components of the first two volumes. The book discusses working with challenging children in multiple settings, such as: adoption, in school, with parents and in residential care. Case examples are provided throughout for added clarity. Achieving Success offers practical applications and hands-on suggestions, infused with humor, for the parents of these special children.
This book emphasizes an important element of being successful with difficult children – hope. The repeated message is not only that success if possible, but also that it is realistically achievable. However, success comes only with the right type of hard work combined with a deep understanding of what troubled children need. If success with your child is escaping your grasp, you’ll find some help in these pages!
