"Parents have never faced a tougher challenge that raising children in today's climate. From conflict resolution and communication -- to stress, anxiety, adn depression -- kids are suffering and families are struggling to stay afloat. But with the help of Charles Sophy [a psychiatrist and the former medical director for the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services] parents and caregivers don't need to feel helpless about the state of their children's health and safety. With 'Family Values' they keys to restoring sanity and stability at home are within reach. From toddlers to teens, all kids need healthy relationships with the same important and physical and mental health metrics in order to thrive. Over the last twenty years, Dr. Sophy has steered thousands of families back to steady ground using what he calls the 'SWEEP' assessment as a guide : SLEEP: A safe and healthy environment for seven to nine hours of quality rest -- WORK: Time spent working toward the establishment of sense of purpose and achievement ( school should be a child's primary work) -- EATING: Consistent accesss to nutirional food that keeps the body healthy and energized -- EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION: Vocabulary and tools for expressing a full range of emotions to a trusted and reliable source -- PLAY: Varied outlets for pressure-free self-expression and relaxation. While seemingly simple, these 5 factors are the core ingredients parents must provide for their children in order to create and environment for success..."--Jacket.
