Product Description

Review
"...written simply and coherently. ...provides an excellent guide for showing parents how to create stories that enable the child to discover new meanings: those associated with success, not failure, hope, not hopelessness." Daniel A. Hughes, Clinical Psychologist, So. China, ME "...offers parents a supportive tool for entering their child's life in a subtle though direct manner. Parents should find that this book is one answer to their on-going question of 'What can we do?'" - Gregory C. Keck, Founder and Director of the Attachment and Bonding Center of Ohio, Cleveland, OH

Product Description
Children whose early development has been damaged by abuse or neglect are notoriously difficult to reach. Through many years' therapeutic work with adopted children and their families, Denise B. Lacher and Todd Nichols have developed an exciting and innovative technique which uses stories as the main mode for helping parents to communicate and connect with their troubled children. Connecting with Kids through Stories is an accessible guide to Family Attachment Narrative Therapy for the parents of adopted or fostered children, and for the professionals who work with them. Providing a thorough theoretical grounding, and detailed information on therapeutic techniques and how to assess progress, the book shows parents how to create their own therapeutic stories to promote increased attachment and improved behaviour in their child. The authors describe how different kinds of narratives can help with specific difficulties and illustrate their techniques with the story of a fictional family who develop their own narratives to help their adopted child heal.

5.0 out of 5 stars A short useful book, recommended for adopters, 13 Jan 2009
By M. Lansdell (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This short readable book shares 4 types of stories that you can create to tell your child to help them feel understood and have a stronger sense of belonging in your family. The Claiming stories help the child understand how your life and their life relate before you met, and the kind of care that they deserved to receive. The Trauma narratives help you write a story with a metaphor to help the child understand the bad experiences they have had (perhaps abuse in a birth family, or the trauma of moving placement). The developmental and successful child narratives help them see that good outcomes are possible, and that they are able to overcome challenges.

This is a short book that you can read and really use (not some long book full of interesting ideas but nothing directly practical, like some of the main attachment related texts) and as such I'd recommend it to anyone, but particularly adoptive and long term foster parents, and the professionals that support them.
