Publisher Description:

Parenting a child who doesn't know how to be parented is the most difficult job in the world.'

Why Can't My Child Behave? provides friendly expert advice on how to respond to difficult behaviours and emotions for parents of children with developmental trauma. Each chapter focusses on the common difficulties faced by carers or parents and features quick, applicable ideas with exercises and illustrations. How do you react to a child's difficult behaviour? How do you deal with your own negative emotions? How do you know when to be empathic? The book looks beyond the traditional punishment/reward strategies and aims to provide an explanation for such questions whilst helping the child in the process.

This book will prove to be an invaluable resource for parents, foster carers, social workers and professionals working with children who are adopted or fostered.
