First Steps in Parenting the Child who Hurts: Tiddlers and Toddlers

by Caroline Archer

This text approaches attachment and developmental issues arising when the child is in your care. It offers practical, sensitive guidance through the dark areas of separation, loss and trauma in early childhood. It reassures that no problem faced as a result of the child's early experiences is insignificant or undeserving of a solution. Neither is the reader patronized by assumptions that some matters should already be common knowledge. It sets out purposefully to encourage confidence and thereby to enable enjoyment of the young life in your care.

An important book for adoption in the UK, it offers different parenting techniques and is really useful.
The small doddles of hedgehogs through out are also cute.
