Kim Golding is a clinical psychologist experienced in providing support services to carers. In this book, she offers a framework for parenting children in adoption and foster care placements. Her focus is on the parent-child relationship and how thinking, feeling and behaving are all connected - for carer and child.
The first section gives an overview of attachment theory and the challenges of parenting children with relationship difficulties. The second introduces the "house model" of parenting - a coherent step-by-step route through the successive stages by which carers can build secure relationships with their children. And the third section deals in depth with skills to maintain emotional engagement, with a final chapter on managing children with special difficulties.
