I loved this book. it's designed for parents adoptive and foster) whose children have experienced trauma. I train foster carers so it was very useful for that perspective. in particular thinking differently to the engrained reward -punishment parenting style our culture is based upon. I have 2 young children and I have reflected and adapted my parenting strategies too.
