   Great book for the adoptive parent or parent with a traumatized child
The book helps you to understand motivating forces for children from hard places. The author also draws the line so that the child is not taught to manipulate the parent. The book was recommended to me by a counselor who works with over 20 adoption agencies and has many years of experience. The book was great, it gave us the answers we needed.

   A book to captured the essence of raising troubled children off all ages.
If you have ever had a child from hard places, you will enjoy the insight offered by Karyn Purvis and her colleagues. I had a child who was tortured by a babysitter while I was at work, and he became a child who was angry with the world. I wish I had this book when he was little and I was trying to figure out what I should do with him. I am now fostering two children, one a toddler and the other a teen, who are from hard places. The book is priceless.

   A lifesaver
I was afraid that the book would tell me to be more patient and understanding, because I was so stressed and overwhelmed with the constant screaming and fits. To my utter relief, there are strategies that WORK. My little guy is 2, so I can 't speak for older kids and kids from different situations, but these strategies yielded IMMEDIATE results!!! We still have a long way to go, and we still have a long way to go. The behaviors haven 't stopped, but are much less frequent and shorter in duration. Hallelujah Hallelujah!!! I also use these things with my other children. I have changed the way I treat my 11 year old by offering more eye contact. My other two year old used to cry repeatedly at nights. I use one of the phrases that the book gave me and we can resolve it, whatever it is and she doesn 't cry again. Wow! Wow! I think that every parent would LOVE this book. I think that every parent would LOVE it.

   Highly Recommend to All Parents
When my partner and I became foster parents, this book was recommended to me, but I would highly recommend that all parents read this, no matter how you become a family. Great parenting techniques!!! Great insight into understanding children's behavior!

   For more extreme behavioral challenges
This gave step by step instructions for situations that are pretty severe. Like what to do and say after you find your child, throwing wooden blocks on purpose at another child. When I follow the guidelines described here and it doesn't work out of frustration, I still feel like I knew what to do. Some situations will still leave your child melting on the floor, but now I have five good things to try first and you can start again when your child can hear you. The child can't always control itself. You can only control what you do, so if you stay calm and do a series of steps, you have succeeded. You can't judge yourself by the results alone. I learned the hard way ''. To feel good about myself, I needed to feel like I was successfully applying the behavioral advice in this book. Good luck!

   It gives ideas on how to approach a difficult child with love and understanding
This book is about attachment parenting or caregiving for children who have been through difficult situations. It gives ideas about how to approach a difficult child with love and understanding. I keep this book as a companion to my baby book on attachment parenting called Christian parenting and childcare by Dr William Sears. This particular book does NOT use the Bible, but is scriptural in its teaching. Good for foster children, adoptive children from other cultures, and children who have been in violent or emotionally abusive homes.

   An Invaluable Read
Was this book really only $6.74?!? I have a normal foundation in child development and managing a good behavior, but I read this book in preparation for becoming a foster parent to children who have experienced trauma. This is an absolutely fabulous book on basic parenting with very specific instructions on how to work with troubled children. I love it and I know that I will organize our home life around what I learned from this book.

   THE Foster/Adopt Parenting Textbook (Buy it Now)
This is the textbook for foster parents. If you do not have it yet, stop reading reviews and buy it now on your tablet or Kindle or audible, so you can read it immediately. If you have friends or family new to fostering, buy them this book now. This book should be given to every foster parent upon completion of training or during training. It is a shame that they mention the book, the author, and research during training, but not simply hand the book as your reference Bible for the hard times, I wish we had this book when we had our first placement. He had been through hell and his actions were beyond our comprehension. Within the first few pages of the book is a table that connects behaviors to feelings that should be passed to every foster parent before a child moves in.
