Product Description

Review
'Everyone in education should have a copy of this book! It's down-to-earth, practical, and I've experienced first-hand how Lousie's ideas work with children in my school. It is rewarding to see children who previously seemed so preoccupied, settle to learn. --Jan Carballo BSc HLTA

Product Description
Inside I' Hurting provides educational professionals with a much-needed classroom handbook of new strategies, practical tools and the confidence for supporting these children from an attachment perspective, thus promoting inclusion in the school system. Contents include: how attachment difficulties can affect a child's ability to learn; providing an 'additional attachment figure' in schools; the benefits and challenges of getting alongside children who have experienced trauma and loss; transitions during the school day; permanency and constancy; being explicit; regulating arousal levels; handling conflict; wondering aloud; lowering the effects of shame; working with transition from primary to secondary phase; developing effective home/school partnership (includes a photocopiable initial meeting prompt card); providing staff support; recommendations for future action.

5.0 out of 5 stars A remarkable achievement - a jargon free and very practical account of how to include young people with attachment difficulties, 1 Aug 2007
By Derek Wilson (Nottingham UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
`Inside I'm Hurting; Practical Strategies for Supporting Children with Attachment Difficulties in Schools' by Louise Bomber (Worth Publishing 2007) is an outstanding new book. The author is a teacher/therapist working in Brighton and Hove, UK and her passion is to support schools in becoming genuinely inclusive towards children who have experienced trauma and loss. One of the achievements of this book is that it manages to write about this work without taking a `medical model' approach to the behaviour of children who have had these experiences. As the author says - `we don't want children to acquire more labels'. She does however describe the children she writes about as having `attachment difficulties' but crucially, notes that `their difficulties stem from relationship' and it therefore follows that modification of their patterns of relating can also come from relationship. This is a very different discourse from that which sees these children as having various types of `attachment disorder' each requiring it's own type of `treatment'. This shift of perspective allows the author to then write about how the child who has experienced trauma and loss is likely to view the world and the people in it and to give those working with such children a wealth of insights and clues into what kind of person they should best try to be to meet that child's needs and help them learn and practice new ways of being in the world. Louise Bomber achieves this with practical clarity and a complete absence of jargon - her translation of the psychotherapeutic terms `transference' and `counter transference' into everyday language are the best I have ever read. Each chapter is full of quotes from teachers and support assistants who have used her insights and, within each of the key themes she explores, there are examples of useful scripts adults might use in difficult to manage situations

5.0 out of 5 stars Inside I'm Hurting-a review from the perspective of a long-term teacher and adoptive mother. , 22 Aug 2007
By Ms. Karen Elizabeth Lomas "Karen Lomas" (London,UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

Louise Bomber's book is an insightful, inspirational, clear and practical manual which entirely fulfils its aims. Born out of the knowledge and skill acquired through her experiences as both a teacher and a therapist, as well as a genuine desire to improve the educational, social and emotional experiences, of children who suffer Attachment Difficulties, she emphasises throughout that all of us involved in their support must be `gentle with our strength, strong with our gentleness.' She stresses the need for open , regular communication and non-judgemental collaborative support between all the adults involved in supporting and nurturing these children.

Her style of writing is an echo of her watchword for how to handle this group of children: She metaphorically takes the reader's hand in a way which inspires and fuels hope in being able to make a positive difference to the lives of children who have suffered trauma and abuse, whilst at the same time being realistic about the demands and stress which can occur in being the Key Adult for one of these children.

After an explanation of the three main types of Attachment Disorder and their possible causes, she takes the reader, step by step, through practical ways of supporting these children during all the key aspects of school, explaining when and why these children may experience difficulties. She includes the day to day access of the curriculum and gives a lot of emphasis to the all important beginning of the day, particular aspects of the school year, year to year transitions, including primary to secondary, as well as examining key events in the child's personal life in terms of their impact on potential learning and the additional preparation needed to support the child at these times.

As well as strategies for the person she describes as the `Key Adult' assigned to work alongside a particular child in lessons, she also includes sections on other areas of school life : These include dealing with peer questioning about the extra support being given to a pupil and the crucial task of supporting the child's social interactions which she recognises should be integral to the Key Adult`s work with the child and not simply an extra.

She makes an especial plea to recognise the particular problems of the adopted child by placing them on the SEN register and understanding that their trauma is far from over once they are placed with a permanent family.

Her book is aimed at teachers, learning support staff ,including learning mentors, but she also makes reference to parents in terms of the home-school collaboration as well as other agencies including CAMHS, Child and Family and Educational Psychologists. I would recommend it to anyone involved in any capacity with the support and nurture of children with an Attachment Disorder. Furthermore, if such highlighting of awareness and these practical and clearly effective strategies are not yet included as a part of the annual INSET programme in schools, it is my belief that it is time that they were.

Review by Karen Lomas, BA Hons, PGCE (Former teacher with 25 years experience and adoptive mother of an 11 year old daughter with a severe Attachment Disorder)
