Attachment Trauma in Kids

Raising kids who experienced early life trauma can be overwhelming for the adults in their lives. The mistrust, reactivity, and impulsivity that often result from this trauma place major roadblocks in the lives and relationships of these children. But with the right tools, there is hope.

This expanded and updated guide for parents (originally published as Integrative Parenting) provides strategies that weave together the science of attachment, trauma, neurobiology, and child development. Here, readers will find tools to build trust, calm impulsivity and reactivity, and improve children’s abilities to think and communicate.

Traumatized kids and their parents deserve a better future together—with this book, parents can pave the way.
