Attachment Trauma in Kids

Techniques for parents to help challenging children with traumatic pastsβ€”now updated and expanded.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Raising kids who experienced early life trauma can be overwhelming for the adults in their lives, whether they're adoptive or foster parents, guardians, or biological parents. The behaviours caused by the impact of trauma on children's brains and nervous systems can be alarming. These kids' mistrust, reactivity, and impulsivity place major roadblocks in their lives and in their relationships.

Originally published as Integrative Parenting, this expanded and updated guide for parents provides strategies that weave together the science of attachment, trauma, neurobiology, and child development. The methods presented in Attachment Trauma in Kids empower parents as agents for change through a deeper understanding of even the most bewildering behaviours.

Here, readers will find tools to build trust, calm impulsivity and reactivity, and improve children's ability to think and communicate. Traumatized kids and their parents deserve a chance for a better future togetherβ€”with this book, parents can pave the way.
