In her book, Never Assume. Getting to Know Children Before Labeling Them. Dr. McGuire reminds us that children are born with a profile of temperament traits that rule how they behave or respond to what is occurring in their environment. We, as adults, do not always remember our own childhood differences and how they made us feel. Now living in a different time with more resources, education and science helping us through observations, stories of children can be a means of letting adults see children from a more objective eye, rather than the subjective eye colored by worry, fear or frustration. Focusing on the demeanor of children and how to understand them, Dr. McGuire will use her experience as a behavioral pediatrician to help you, help your children and patients. Teaching you how to create a biographic profile of children she will demonstrate behavioral challenges while teaching you what to do with this new gained knowledge. Dr. McGuire's book is filled with heartfelt essays and hopeful answers that you can apply to the children you know who need to be better understood.
