Description
This practical handbook explores traumatic experiences and their effects on children at different stages of development. It examines what constitutes trauma in childhood, including its symptoms, prognosis and treatment, and provides guidance on specific parenting tasks, educational and social issues.
One of the book's unique aspects is its personal perspective, as single adopter Matthew Blythe shares his experience of parenting twin boys who have experienced significant trauma. This second half of the book offers a valuable insight into the challenges and rewards of parenting children who have faced traumatic experiences.
