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 Diversities of Operation

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.
