Description
Parenting a child who doesn't know how to be parented is a challenging and complex task. Why Can't My Child Behave? offers practical and empathetic advice on how to respond to difficult behaviours and emotions in children with developmental trauma. The book provides a supportive framework for parents, foster carers, and professionals working with children who have been adopted or fostered. Each chapter addresses common difficulties faced by carers and parents, offering quick and applicable ideas, exercises, and illustrations to help manage challenging situations. The book looks beyond traditional punishment and reward strategies, aiming to provide a deeper understanding of the child's needs and emotions. By doing so, it helps parents develop a more empathic approach to supporting their child's development. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone working with children who have experienced trauma, providing a compassionate and effective guide to navigating difficult behaviours and emotions.
