I'd love to hear those stories, actually. If they're not quite suitable for this forum, please e-mail them to me at deborahlott@earthlink.net. I write part-time for the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress and part of our mission is to improve the mental health treatment of children. Although we're specifically dedicated to traumatic stress, we're always interested in hearing the access/quality problems that parents face. We're even trying to put together a board of parents willing to read materials from time to time and comment, so if you think you might be interested, send me an e-mail. That goes for anyone else who is a parent whether or not you've had a child in treatment or not.
> I would have loved a book like that a few years ago (I'd still buy it). Our son with diagnosed with an anxiety disorder at 11 and we should have figured it out before that. But parents don't talk much about a fearful child to each other, I don't think.
