Parenting Strategies to Help Adopted and Fostered Children with Their Behaviour by Christine Gordon  

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.

Difficult behaviour in children with developmental trauma comes from a place of hurt. It is often confusing, unpredictable and painful both to the child and the people around them, and can be a form of self-protection or coping with deeply rooted fears and anxieties.
​
Traumatised children rarely respond to traditional parenting strategies, but once you understand the impact of trauma on children you can master 'developmental reparenting' strategies which do work - by validating their feelings, boosting self-esteem and encouraging open and honest conversations.

​The first part of this book guides you using easy to understand language through the latest science and research relating to trauma and its impact on the brain and executive functioning.

​The second part forms the heart of the book, laying out 35 action charts to addresses some of the very hardest challenges for parents and carers - from inappropriate sexualised behaviour and overfamiliarity with strangers through to tantrums, food issues and deception.
​
Written by an experienced adoptive parent who is also a qualified social worker with expertise in trauma-informed parenting, this book will be a welcome relief to any family struggling with the challenges of living with trauma in the home.
