FACTS FOR FAMILIES

FACTS FOR FAMILIES

According to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), not all children grow from infancy throughout their adolescent years without experiencing some bumps along the way. While every child is unique and special, sometimes they encounter emotions, feelings or behaviors that cause problems in their lives and the lives of those around them. Families often worry when their child or teenager has difficulty coping with things, feels sad, can't sleep, gets involved with drugs, or can't get along wth family and/or friends.

The AACAP developed Facts for Families to provide concise and up-to-date information on isses that affect children, teenagers, and their families. The AACAP provides this important information as a public service. For facts covering 100+ topics . . . . . . . . .
