Subtitle: A Love-Based Approach to Helping Children with Severe Behaviors by Heather T. Forbes and B. Bryan Post. Covers the effects of trauma on the body-mind and how trauma alters children's behavioral responses. The first four chapters help parents and professionals understand the neurological research behind the basic model given in this book (The Stress Model). The next seven chapters are individually devoted to seven behaviors typically seen with attachment-challenged children. Includes lying, stealing, hoarding and gorging, aggression, defiance, lack of eye contact. Authors end with a Parenting Bonus Section: true testimonials from parents who have been able to make significant changes in their homes with this model of parenting, giving real-life examples. | |
