THINGS I WISH I'D KNOWN; CANCER AND KIDS written by Deborah
J. Cornwall is a
must for any caregiver of little ones even if you are a
parent, teacher, or just
family members who have a hand in caring for children. This
short little
handbook is packed with great advice to help children cope
with the effects that
cancer has on a family. Whether it is the child themselves
that is diagnosed or a
close family member, you will find great resources in this
fifty-eight page book.
This guide is divided into five chapters that help from the
beginning from
sharing the news with your child to giving you resources
that will help you with
any concerns that may come up with the effects of dealing
with the life changes
from cancer. As a teacher I find this handy information, a
plus when teaching
children. It can already be overwhelming with just every
day struggles. The
information doesn't stop with this book, there are also
websites listed for more
information as well as other's real life situations. THINGS
I WISH I'D KNOWN:CANCER AND KIDS is a much-needed addition
for anyone with children who are affected by cancer.
The cancer experience shakes most caregivers to their core.
It is even more compelling and poignant when it involves
children. Thousands of families each year face this shocking
reality. Based on interviews with caregivers who have
first-hand knowledge, this book is intended to help anyone
facing a cancer diagnosis affecting a child, either as the
patient or as a member of a family.
It offers advice and cites resources to help discuss cancer
with children of different ages, manage the impact of the
disease on their daily lives, navigate treatment for kids
with cancer, and deal with children's grief in the event of
a death in the family.
