Understanding Neglect: A Book for Young Children

by Beth Richey LCSW RPT-S, Paula Wood LCSW

Understanding Neglect was written for children who have experienced neglect by a grown-up they love, in order to help them navigate the emotions that may come as a result. The soothing and engaging illustrations help children to relate to characters in a way that feels safe and comforting, opening the door for productive discussion. The book is intended for professional use by trained clinicians, and can be read alone or with a trusted caregiver in the therapy space.
