Parents - A MUST!

Parents, Get this book. I have worked with parents of pullers for 10 years. This book answers every question and more. Cheryn Salazar speaks from her heart describing her own journey as well as that of a parent of a child who pulls. This book will help you understand what your child is going through, help ease your pain and help you and your child recover from trichotillomania.

Very Helpful-A Different Perspective

As the parent of a 12 year old suffering from trich I have done a ton of reading on the subject including many in-depth texts and research articles. This book is simple to read and understand and provides something those other books don't: In depth perspective from a trich survivor who also has kids with the disorder. It really helped me to understand how trich feels for my daughter and provided some great insights into parenting a child with trich. Cheryn Salazar mentions her own Chrisitanity once or twice, but I did not feel that she was pushing this as a solution as one reviewer did. This book does not get into detail about meds and behavioral therapy but it gave me great insight into what it feels like to have this disorder and I have not yet found that in any other book/article. I also think this would be a great book to give to friends/family members to help them understand trich in a comprehensive yet simple manner.

Very helpful

I understand my daughter's hair-pulling problem much better after reading this book. I never knew it was exacerbated by chastising or threatening. I have focused much more on helping her ease the tension, like massaging her scalp or cuddling with her. It also helps her to exercise her fine motor skills, like working with beads and making bracelets, etc. This book has helped us so much!!!

An excellent book about a little understood disorder.

Cheryn writes this book from her heart. Having suffered from trichotillomania herself as a child and as an adult, and as a parent of a child with trich, she writes with passion, compassion, and first hand knowledge of what it is like to have this disorder. Having suffered in silence for years, she understands the isolation it can cause. And then to have her own children come up with the same disorder, she understands a parent's fears and frustrations. Written from the heart, this book is a must-read for any parent with a child suffering from trichotillomania, and good reading for anybody who either has, or know somebody who has trichotillomania.
