Publisher's Synopsis

This handbook explores child to parent violence regarding children who are separated from their birth family, and who may have experienced abuse, neglect or other trauma in their early years. It explores how child to parent violence can become a problem at different ages and stages, and how sensory processing issues and a need for control may affect behaviour and contribute to childhood aggression. Using a trauma-responsive approach, the guide sets out a range of strategies that can help manage violence and encourage children to develop more positive ways to approach challenges. It also describes what it is like to parent an affected child, with thoughtful first-hand accounts from adopters who share their parenting experiences and offer useful advice about what worked, or didn't work, for their families. This combination of expert information and first-hand experiences will help readers to gain knowledge, achieve understanding and to make informed decisions. This handbook will be of great use to adopters, prospective adopters, foster carers, kinship carers, special guardians, social work practitioners and all those involved in the day-to-day care of looked after children.
