Summary
Although this is a book primarily for parents, we think it right to point out that there is a great deal that governments could do to make it easier for parents and teachers to help children avoid emotional problems. The policy measures we list below would help parents, teachers and children themselves reduce the frequency of clinical depression in the young. Perhaps some parents might use their influence and their votes to bring about changes in these directions.
