Summary:
As a therapist, Eileen Bartow-Rives has enjoyed the vagaries and
whims of children’s thinking and actions for thirty years. Her
observations provide an insider’s view of these children as they
navigate this unfamiliar situation with a person they do not know,
but whom their parents have entrusted with their care for an hour at
a time. Stories focus on the surprising things kids say and do from
the moment they are greeted in the waiting room to the time they are
returned to their parents at the end of the session. The majority are
typical kids struggling with everyday issues. A few face deeper
lifelong challenges. All of them have their own view of the world
that enlightens our own. Finally, the stories provide a look into the
idiosyncratic, sometimes refreshing viewpoints of kids facing
commonplace challenges. Their observations surprise, but also enrich
our understanding of what it is like to be a kid.
