Parenting Strategies to Help Adopted and Fostered Children with Their Behaviour

The uniqueness and innovation in this resource is in the practical nature of connecting executive functioning difficulties - the ‘why does my child do this?’ - to the ‘what can I do?’ and ‘what can I say?’. Packed full of ideas, suggestions and resources for strategies and interventions, all so clearly written by Christine, this guide is not to be missed! – Edwina Grant, Chair of SAIAThis book will be of great help to adults who care for children with developmental trauma. Christine Gordon deftly helps to close the gap between understanding these children and knowing what to do to provide the consistently compassionate care they need to recover from the effects of early life trauma. – Jonathan Baylin, PhD, coauthor with Daniel Hughes of The Neurobiology of Attachment-focused Therapy

Christine Gordon was the co-founder of Family Futures adoption agency in London and founder of ADAPT Scotland, which offers parenting and therapeutic support to adoptive and foster parents caring for traumatized children.
