Therapeutic Parenting: Rhyme and Reason: The trauma-aware approach to parenting

By Sarah Dillon

This collection of poetry and prose makes easily accessible the often complex information that parents need in order to understand why children from trauma behave differently from securely attached children, and how to respond to them using a trauma-aware approach. Even when the child has arrived in a safe new environment, they do not feel safe because the trauma remains active within them, and parents need to stay alert to this. The parent's trauma awareness is the foundation of therapeutic parenting and will, over time, help the child to resolve much of what has happened to them, build healthy relationships and embrace new beginnings. The poems give vivid and memorable insights into how trauma drives a child's behaviour, and the impact this has on the parent. The prose supporting each poem is a bridge to the theory.
