Provides new and highly effective techniques for parents dealing with behavioral challenges with their children. Intended for parents, adoptive parents, foster parents, and caretakers of at-risk, ADD/ADHD/RAD,ODD, adopted children and children with behavioral and emotional challenges.

Bryan Post speaks to parents about the challenges they face when dealing with behaviors that are often present for children who have experienced trauma. He helps parents understand the impact of pre-birth and early life trauma and the impact of interruptions in the attachment process. This book addresses the underlying issues that are the root of the behavior challenges. He breaks down complex science in a way that is easily understood, and gives specific, field tested, proven effective solutions, and strategies.

In his compassion for parents and children he offers hope and solutions for the challenges families face. Once this book was thought to be specific to adoptive and foster families, but now more and more parents are finding this love-based, trauma informed approach to be helpful in creating cooperative, healthy, loving relationships with their children. In today's society children experience trauma at a never-before seen level. Abuse, neglect, divorce, domestic violence, frequent moves, poverty, homelessness, social tragedies, all have an effect on children.

The more recent ACE's (adverse childhood experience) tool gives us insight into the reality that our children are struggling with traumatic experiences at an epidemic level. We, as adults, are being called to create healing for these wounds. This book has been touted by parents and professionals as their "must listen, go to" for understanding their traumatized child, and effectively helping them heal. Over 20,000 copies sold.

Bryan's straightforward, clear-cut approach has created peace and healing for hundreds of families; families who once operated in fear, are now experiencing love.
