Warning Signs provides practical methods to reduce harm to and by children. Doctors Johnson and Berdahl present the most common risk factors and warning signs, along with practical parenting advice and strategies for raising strong, safe kids and protecting them from becoming either perpetrators or victims. They explain how the "old" risk factors—child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, sexual assault, and poverty—have been compounded by new ones in the past 20 years, such as violent media, kids' entitled attitudes, parents' fear of intervention, and increases in childhood mental illness, disrupted families, substance use, bullying, access to weapons, and social media. They provide sample language for tough conversations with kids and with other adults. Full of specific, practical ideas, this book will appeal to parents who want to raise kind and compassionate children.

Why don't we always obey warnings? In discussing a wide range of issues in behavioural research of warnings, this book takes the view that a warning is but one piece of information which we take into account in deciding what - or what not - to do. This view leads the authors to the positions that warnings should be matched in their urgency to the urgency of the situation they warn about. Auditory, visual, written and symbolic warnings are discussed in detail.

This savvy, straightforward book pairs real women's stories with research and the expertise of a domestic violence counselor to help women of all ages identify Dangerous Men -- before they become too involved. Brown describes eight types of Dangerous Men, their specific traits and characteristics. In separate chapters, she explores victim’s stories that tell how they came in contact with this type of Dangerous Man and their outcome. Brown then shows readers how to develop a Defense Strategy -- how to spot, avoid, or rid themselves of this type of Dangerous Man. Brown explains women's innate "red flag" systems -- how they work to signal impending danger, and why many women learn to ignore them. With red flags in hand, Brown then guides readers through their own personal experiences to develop a personalized "Do Not Date" list. With these tools, Brown shows women how they can spot and avoid patterns of engagement with Dangerous Men.

David DeWitt has done it once more! In his latest book, “Bullying…Applying Handwriting Analysis to Detect Potential Signs and Effects”, David DeWitt puts forth a timely hypothesis that carries great import for contemporary American society. As a certified Graphoanalyst, David DeWitt has spent a lifetime studying the link between human behavior and handwriting. This field of endeavor is referred to as Graphology and is a science unto itself. I have personally witnessed this man as he applied his extensive knowledge to analyzing the handwriting of interested volunteers ...and the results of his findings were incredibly accurate! The individuals involved were, to a person, amazed by the insights that he garnered based upon their handwriting samples. Above all, David DeWitt is a humanist of the highest caliber and his altruism has inspired him to deploy his unique skill set for the betterment of mankind. On October 7, 2003, young Ryan Halligan’s life ended as a result of recurrent bullying by his peers. John Halligan, Ryan’s father, has since made it his mission to speak out publicly against bullying and to alert people to its many and varied warning signs. Having met Mr. Halligan personally, David DeWitt was touched by Ryan’s tragedy and was compelled to marshal his graphoanalytic talents in the war against bullying. In his newest work, “Bullying…Applying Handwriting Analysis to Detect Potential Signs and Effects”, David DeWitt methodically exposes the reader to the links between handwriting and possible aggressive and dishonest behavior. This book is not just for parents ...we are all involved in the battle against bullying. I endorse David DeWitt in his literary efforts and highly recommend this book to you. Simply stated, this is a must read. —John De Mado, John De Mado Language Seminars, LLC Author/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, McGraw-Hill, Pearson
