Parenting Strategies to Help Adopted and Fostered Children with Their Behaviour by Christine Gordon
Offers straightforward advice for managing common behaviours in children who are traumatized. Designed specifically for adoptive and foster parents, this guide includes visual reference charts of therapeutic parenting strategies and conversation scripts that can be used when caring for a traumatized child.
The uniqueness and innovation in this resource is in the practical nature of connecting executive functioning difficulties - the 'why does my child do this?' - to the 'what can I do?' and 'what can I say?'Packed full of ideas, suggestions and resources for strategies and interventions, all so clearly written by Christine, this guide is not to be missed! -- Edwina Grant, Chair of SAIA
This book will be of great help to adults who care for children with developmental trauma. Christine Gordon deftly helps to close the gap between understanding these children and knowing what to do to provide the consistently compassionate care they need to recover from the effects of early life trauma. -- Jonathan Baylin, PhD, coauthor with Daniel Hughes of The Neurobiology of Attachment-focused Therapy
