| Book Description | Self-harm in children and young people occurs across society, and is very worrying for parents, carers and indeed the children themselves. This guide specifically explores self-harm in children and young people who are fostered or adopted. The reasons behind self-harm are complex and can be related to a range of factors, but for those who have been in care, difficult experiences in their early lives can contribute significantly to self-harming in later childhood. This new le in the Parenting Matters series provides authoritative, clinical guidance for carers and adopters on this difficult and concerning issue. In straightforward language, it explores the links between early trauma and self-harm, how self-harming behaviour may manifest, and what it may tell us about children’s underlying emotions and neurobiology. The guide explores how children may be affected at different ages and stages, and the ways in which self-harm can affect education and social expectations. Vital practical guidance is also 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 and dialogues explore what it can be like to live with affected children, and illustrate what has worked, or hasn’t worked, for other families. |
