Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control: A Love-Based Approach to Helping Attachment-Challenged Children With Severe Behaviors, Volume 1

by Heather T. Forbes, B. Bryan Post · 2006

+ Want to read

This guide looks at how trauma affects both the body and the mind, and how those effects shape the way children respond to the world around them. It explains that behaviour which appears defiant or out of control often has roots in earlier experiences that left a child feeling unsafe. Rather than relying only on consequences, logic and control, the book presents a love-based approach for helping attachment-challenged children with severe behaviours. Parents, foster carers and professionals will find a detailed account of why traditional discipline can fail these children and how a calmer, relationship-centred response can help them learn to trust again.
