Parenting

Although traumatized children rarely respond to traditional parenting strategies, there are proven 'developmental reparenting' techniques that will help a child by validating their feelings, boosting self-esteem and encouraging open and honest conversations. This parent-friendly guide uses easy to understand language to explain the latest science and research relating to trauma and its impact on the brain and executive functioning. Includes 35 downloadable action charts that address some of the very hardest challenges for parents and carers, from inappropriate sexualized behaviour and overfamiliarity with strangers through to tantrums, food issues and deception.
