Description
This book tells the story of Wayne's journey from being fostered at the age of nine to nearly four years of family life. Lorna Miles shares her experiences as his primary carer, highlighting the challenges of helping him heal from neglect and domestic abuse.
Through Wayne's behaviour, readers will gain insight into different parenting styles and techniques that can be used in re-parenting children with attachment difficulties. The book emphasizes understanding what lies behind a child's actions rather than simply labelling them as naughty or uncontrollable.
This thoughtful guide offers practical advice on how to support children who have experienced trauma, making it a valuable resource for foster carers, social workers and anyone working with children in need.
