As a result, offering support that will comfort and fortify them feels like solving a puzzle with missing pieces.\nIn Always My Child, Kevin Jennings supplies the missing pieces by guiding parents through the world their child inhabits. He explains what these teens often encounter -- teasing and harassment -- and offers solutions for parents who want to better understand their LGBTQ children and learn how to protect their self-esteem. He offers advice, including how to:\n\nInitiate constructive communication with their child\nRespond effectively to frequently asked questions\nRecognize depression and signs of drug abuse and harassment\nSuccessfully advocate for their child's well-being outside the home\n\nAlways My Child makes it possible for parents to create the kind of relationship with their children that allows them to grow into emotionally healthy adults.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0743226496\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0743226496.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jennings, Kevin|Shapiro, Pat\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
