Oh how I struggle with trying to be culturally sensitive when I work with children and families from cultural groups that I don't know enough about! I don't want to be racist, I do want to be sensitive. I want to protect children but i don't want to destroy families. I don't speak every family's language, but i want to give them the best services possible.

This book discusses the range of issues in child protection with culturally diverse families--from interpreters to punishments to sexual abuse to prevention and interviewing. It's written in an enjoyable style and has a lot of important content. It's interesting and really got me thinking.

By far the most readable book on this subject, and chockful of invaluable hints. The writer obviously cares deeply about the families we are all trying to help. There's no excuse for professionals to make insensitive mistakes if they've read this book.
