Critics Review
Rebecca Avern clearly explains the root of emotional imbalances in children and how to effectively diagnose and treat a variety of disease patterns. Rebecca brilliantly shares her vast experience treating children and teenagers in her well organized and insightful text. I highly recommend this book for practitioners and laypeople interested in the subject. – CT Holman, author of Treating Emotional Trauma with Chinese Medicine and Shamanism in Chinese Medicine
This is a wonderful book, and every parent and every practitioner should have a copy. Rebecca gives us a clear, easy-to-follow guide to anxiety and depression, showing how to recognise the different types, and what to do. Not just medicine, but all aspects of life. How do you get your teenager off their mobile phone? How do you get them to take enough exercise? The different types need different help, and we are shown a way forward. Thank you Rebecca. – Julian Scott, MA, PhD, Cert Ac (Nanjing)

It is chock full of insights guiding deeper understanding and personalized care for kids via this time-tested model, and provides truly practical advice that can be applied right away to aid young ones suffering from anxiety and depression. Those who care for children will find this book to be a treasure trove of tools that will immediately help improve the lives of their loved ones and themselves. – David W. Miller, MD, LAc
