Debra Wesselmann: Attachment Trauma in Kids, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Raising kids who experienced early life trauma can be overwhelming for the adults in their lives, whether they're adoptive or foster parents, guardians or biological parents. The behaviours caused by the impact of trauma on children's brains and nervous systems can be alarming. These kids' mistrust, reactivity and impulsivity place major roadblocks in their lives and in their relationships.

Originally published as Integrative Parenting, this expanded and updated guide for parents provides strategies that weave together the science of attachment, trauma, neurobiology and child development. The methods presented in this book empower parents as agents for change through a deeper understanding of even the most bewildering behaviours. Here readers will find tools to build trust, calm impulsivity and reactivity, and improve children's ability to think and communicate. Traumatised kids and their parents deserve a chance for a better future together-with this book, parents can pave the way.
