Have you tried in vain to understand and correct a child’s behaviour? Have you wondered why an obviously intelligent child performs poorly in class? Have you despaired to a point of asking yourself: What’s wrong with this child?

In this book, Dr Frank Njenga, a renowned psychiatrist, offers insights into some of the major problems that you, as a parent or teacher, may have encountered in bringing up a child. This book will, among other things, guide you on how to:

• recognize and deal with learning difficulties in a child.
• use positive and negative reinforcement to modify a child’s behaviour.
• manage a hyperactive child.
• identify and deal with stress and depression in a child.
• help a child avoid or overcome addiction to drugs.
