THIS BOOK HAS BEEN REVISED AND REPUBLISHED AS "Parenting Strategies to Help Adopted and Fostered Children with Their Behaviour"


**BOOK OF THE MONTH APRIL 2017**

​Adapting Approaches - Understanding Behaviour in Traumatised Children by Christine Gordon (2016)

Written by Christine Gordon, co-author of 'New Families, Old Scripts: A Guide to the Language of Trauma and Attachment in Adoptive Families' (2006) and Reparenting the Child Who Hurts: A Guide to Healing Developmental Trauma and Attachments (2012). 

This new publication has been birthed out of Christine's ADAPT Scotland programme, a service offering practical mentorship for families, incorporating flexible strategies for developmental reparenting utilising the PACE principles of DDP.

It provides a guide to the neuro-biological theory of attachment and the concept of developmental reparenting. The manual then covers developmental trauma and its impact on executive functioning, and the difficulties this can cause within a traumatised child's behaviour and relationships.  

The second half of the book is a highly practical thirty five charts, covering many social and behavioural areas from 'accepting responsibility' to 'working in silence'. This can be used to help parents, other family members and teachers increase their understanding in bite sized chunks, and look "at a child's difficulties with empathy and an attempt at understanding the underlying messages...  understanding the 'why' will provide the springboard for considering how to intervene successfully".   Each chart identifies a challenging behaviour, the possible developmental trauma issue and triggers, with a range of adaptable 'what can I do?' options. The A4 manual also has a blank chart at the back, (which is also available from the ADAPT Scotland website) and a menu of other valuable resources.
