* How does complex trauma differ from trauma? * What is
dissociation? * How does it affect children? * How can you help?
These questions and more are answered in this guide to
understanding the nature of complex trauma and dissociation, making
these seemingly complicated topics accessible to all. Complex
trauma and dissociation is a subject around which there is much
confusion and misunderstanding. This can lead to children lacking
the support they really need, and even misdiagnosis of the problems
they are really struggling with. Written as a complement to The
Simple Guide to Child Trauma, this book aims to inform, clarify and
deepen the understanding of complex trauma and resulting
dissociation. It also provides practical advice for those caring
for or working with these children.
* What is collective trauma? * How can it impact children and
communities? * What can we do about it? Providing accessible
answers to these complex questions and more, this guide explores
the key characteristics of collective trauma and provides practical
advice on how to help children, young people and communities to
heal. Collective trauma affects communities, families and
individuals. This book highlights its impacts and with examples
such as grief and loss, outlines how it can manifest. With guidance
on building individual, communal and cultural resilience, this book
is an invaluable resource to better understand and support children
and young people dealing with collective trauma.
What do Pablo Picasso, Prince and Martin Luther King Jr have in
common? All have been described as having been highly sensitive
boys and all grew up to be outstanding, sensitive men. Too often,
adults think of sensitive boys as shy, anxious and inhibited. They
are measured against society's ideas about 'manliness' -- that all
boys are sociable, resilient and have endless supplies of energy.
This highly readable guide is for any adult wanting to know how to
understand and celebrate sensitive boys. It describes how thinking
about boys in such old-fashioned ways can cause great harm, and
make a difficult childhood all the more painful. The book
highlights the real strengths shared by many sensitive boys - of
being compassionate, highly creative, thoughtful, fiercely
intelligent and witty. It also flips common negative cliches about
sensitive boys being shy, anxious and prone to bullying to ask
instead: what we can do to create a supportive environment in which
they will flourish? Full of simple yet sage advice, this book will
help you to encourage boys to embrace their individuality, find
their own place in the world, and to be the best they can be.
* What are attachment difficulties? * How do they affect children?
* How can you help? This book provides clear and concise answers to
these important questions - and more. Much more than just a simple
introduction to the subject of attachment, the book is also full of
advice and practical ideas you can try. It tackles some challenging
questions, such as 'what is the difference between trauma and
attachment?', and explains how having an understanding of
attachment is only part of the overall picture when it comes to
caring for traumatized children. It is an essential read for any
adult parenting or caring for a child who has experienced
attachment difficulties.
· What is shame? · How does it affect children? · How can adults
help? The perfect starting point for any adult or carer working

straightforward answers and explanations to both common and complex
questions. At a time when children are more likely than ever to
experience shame, the accessible advice in this book helps adults
to boost children's self-esteem. Betsy de Thierry navigates the
need to understand its impact and the reasons behind it, as well as
how to reduce its hold on self-confidence. Reassuring advice will
also help revitalize adults' abilities to face the challenges of
supporting children affected by shame. It will teach them how to
restore self-esteem.
