Product Description

Product Description

"Nurturing Attachments" combines the experience and wisdom of parents and carers with that of professionals to provide support and practical guidance for foster and adoptive parents looking after children with insecure attachment relationships. It gives an overview of attachment theory and a step-by-step model of parenting which provides the reader with a tried-and-tested framework for developing resilience and emotional growth.Featuring throughout are the stories of Catherine, Zoe, Marcus and Luke, four fictional children in foster care or adoptive homes, who are used to illustrate the ideas and strategies described, the book offers sound advice and provides exercises for parents and their children, as well as useful tools that supervising social workers can use both in individual support of carers as well as in training exercises. This is an essential guide for adoptive and foster parents, professionals including health and social care practitioners, clinical psychologists, child care professionals, and lecturers and students in this field.

Good Book to assist in understanding Attachments. Did not find it the easy to read but enjoyed the chapters and the scenarios assisted.
Take time to read and it's a great text to support you in dealing with Fostered/Adopted Children

3.0 out of 5 stars Nurturing attatchments :supporting children who are fostered or adopted, 1 Oct 2009
As a Foster Carer of 20years I did find the theory's presented in the book interesting. Although it would be of little use to Foster Carer's who foster short term.As the theory attempts to explain how to change damaged children from early years abuse, prenatal damage,or generic back grounds.It also offer's little hope to adopter's.
