9781913384166: Parenting A Child Affected By Self-harm Issues

Synopsis

This practical handbook explores why children may self-harm, and how to help them. The first half of the book examines the ways in which children may self-harm at different ages and development stages, particularly if they are affected by early life trauma and loss. Dan Hughes uses his popular ‘Parenting with PACE’ model to explore the links between early trauma and self-harm, and what self-harming may tell us about children’s underlying emotions and neurobiology. The guide also explores how self-harm can affect education and social expectations. Vital practical guidance is provided on how parents and carers can address self-harm in the moment at which children are carrying out this behaviour. In the second half of the book, revealing case studies explore what it can be like to live with affected children, and illustrate what has worked, or hasn’t worked, for other families. Parenting a child affected by self-harm issues is a title in CoramBAAF's popular Parenting Matters series which explores a range of health needs and conditions commonly associated with looked after children. Presented in a straightforward and accessible style, each title in the series combines expert information and first-hand experiences in order to help readers gain knowledge, achieve understanding, and make informed decisions about caring for an affected child.
