Don't be a p*ssy or how (not) to work with children

This is a book about children living in residential care - about working well with them and working badly with them, about their stories, about the choices adults make and the better choices that can be made

The reader will find anonymized but real stories of children, basic theoretical (professional) minimum and direct quotations from the child heroes themselves. Ones that can inspire, or maybe help someone open their eyes and realize that even the "evil spoiled brat" has reasons for his bad behavior. That it can be an outcry of disapproval, disgust and disgust with some of the people the child has encountered. Likewise, the book expresses deep admiration and thanks to some of the people who work in this sphere.
The book is honest and raw - it names things and situations in real words with real feelings, it does not look for cute phrases or correctly acceptable descriptions. And although the title of the book is vulgar (and the reader will soon understand why after reading a few pages), the book is not sensationalistic in any way, but on the contrary firmly grounded in field practice and professional psychological, psychotherapeutic and pedagogical background.
