Finally, a parenting book which demystifies the latest thinking on
neurobiology, physiology and trauma and explains what the research
means for the everyday life of parents of children who hurt. As
experts on adoption and fostering who are adoptive parents
themselves, Caroline Archer and Christine Gordon explain how this
knowledge can help parents to better understand and care for their
child. They explain why conventional parenting techniques are often
not helpful for the child who has experienced early trauma and
explore why therapeutic reparenting is the only way to help repair
the unhealthy neurobiological and behavioural patterns which affect
the child's development. They do not shy away from how difficult
reparenting is, acknowledging how hard it can be to recognise our
own fallibility as parents and to change our own parenting
patterns. The authors also offer hard-won advice on a range of
common parenting flashpoints - from defusing arguments and
aggression to negotiating bedtimes and breaks in routine, and
making sure that special occasions are remembered for all the right
reasons. Reparenting the Child Who Hurts is a humane, no-nonsense
survival guide for any parent caring for a child with developmental
trauma or attachment difficulties, and will also provide
information and insights for social workers, teachers, counsellors
and other professionals involved in supporting adoptive and foster
families.
Difficult behaviour in children with developmental trauma comes
from a place of hurt. It is often confusing, unpredictable and
painful both to the child and the people around them, and can be a
form of self-protection or coping with deeply rooted fears and
anxieties. Traumatized children rarely respond to traditional
parenting strategies, but once you understand the impact of trauma
on children you can master 'developmental reparenting' strategies
which do work - by validating their feelings, boosting self-esteem
and encouraging open and honest conversations. The first part of
this book guides you using easy to understand language through the
latest science and research relating to trauma and its impact on
the brain and executive functioning. The second part forms the
heart of the book, laying out 35 action charts to addresses some of
the very hardest challenges for parents and carers - from
inappropriate sexualised behaviour and overfamiliarity with
strangers through to tantrums, food issues and deception. Written
by an experienced adoptive parent who was also a qualified social
worker with expertise in trauma-informed parenting, this book will
be a welcome relief to any family struggling with the challenges of
living with trauma in the home.
I got my inspiration to write this book, being in the Shattuck
Hospital, from patients, and special thanks to Julia and Bradford
Hienes. And also, I got my inspiration from my drawings. I am
grateful to God for giving me a good imagination to do this book.

All Christians have Ministering Gifts from God. All Christians that
answer and accept God's call to salvation also accept their calling
to God's ministry. Ministry is service. Many Christians believe the
only Ministers with a special anointing are those of the Fivefold
Ministry; the Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher.
This belief may have caused some Christians to underestimate their
value in God. All Christians are God's servants. A servant is
someone privately used to perform domestic services, or publicly
used to perform services as for a government. A servant is one who
expresses submission, recognizance, or debt to another. All
Christians are God's Ministers. A Minister is a servant that serves
as an Instrument. An Instrument is someone used to accomplish a
purpose. A Minister is an Agent. An Agent is someone with authority
empowered to act for or represent another. Ministers are Means. A
Means is a person with financial resources or a strategy to fulfill
a goal. During the creation, the Lord God formed man of the dust of
the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and
man became a living soul. God also endowed man with natural gifts,
abilities and qualities. Therefore, every person has innate
abilities. Innate abilities are natural gifts and abilities that
make up the nature of a person. However, regardless of the fact
that man has natural innate physical and mental abilities, it is
the power and influence of God's Holy Spirit that add solidity to
the natural gifts and abilities of man. The Ministering Gifts of
God are abilities that enable all Christians to serve God by
serving others. They serve others by giving and administering aid,
by attending to, looking after and caring for the needs of others,
especially the Household of Faith. This is the work of God's
Ministry; the Ministry of Helps and Outreach for such a time as
this. There are two categories of the Ministering Gifts of God: the

Developed within the context of the expansion of the Canadian
welfare state in the years following the Great Depression, the
present organisation of Canadian health care delivery is now in
serious need of reform. This book documents the causes and effects
of changes made in this century to Canada's health care policy.
Particular emphasis is placed on the decades following 1940, the
years in which Canada moved away from an individualistic
entrepreneurial medical care system, first toward a collectivist
biomedical model and then to a social model for health care.
