Description
This book offers practical advice and guidance for adoptive and long-term foster parents seeking to understand and support their young children's emotional needs. Written from personal experience, Caroline Archer explores the ways in which children who have experienced trauma may behave and the strategies that can help carers build a strong, nurturing relationship.
Archer argues that acknowledging and validating a child's hurt is essential for their healing and development. She provides clear guidance on how to handle common challenges, such as difficult behaviour and emotional regulation, and offers reassurance that it is possible to create a supportive environment that fosters growth and well-being.
With its accessible and easy-to-read format, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone caring for a child who has experienced trauma. It includes a list of references for further reading, making it the perfect starting point for parents and carers looking to better understand their child's needs.
