About the Book

Addressing the dearth of information regarding children's perception of stress in the setting of their own families, this book substantiates the fact that children can and will articulate needs and perceptions, if given an appropriate vehicle. Challenging traditional deference to adult assessment, data are drawn from both parents and children in an effort to portray the unique child's perspective. Through open-ended, qualitative measures of semi-structured diaries and drawings, Sorensen offers a clarifying glimpse into the child's world. From such data, taxonomies of children's stressors, coping responses, and coping resources are developed and presented, offering both validation and challenges to current literature. This book will be of interest to academicians, practitioners, and graduate students in family studies, child development, psychology and nursing.

Review :
The book is appealing to both the family theorist and researcher, but its insight into children's perspectives of their own day-to-day stressors and coping responses is especially informative for teachers, clinicians, and therapists who work with children and their families. - Journal of Marriage and the Family "...a significant contribution to the literature. This work represents not merely a review, but a scholarly critique of the empirical and theoretical work in the area of stress and coping in children....This book is essential reading for all professionals who care about children. - Nancy M. Ryan-Wenger, PhD, RN, Ohio State University This book will be extremely interesting to diverse professionals interested in family stress and coping, especially as these experiences involve children. In particular, applied professionals who try to help and understand children and their parents will find provocative insights in this book. - Brent Miller, Utah State University
