Developing Secure Attachment Through Play offers a range of
imaginative and engaging play-based activities, designed to help
vulnerable young children forge safe attachments with their
caregivers. The book focuses on key developmental stages that may
have been missed due to challenging life circumstances, such as
social-emotional development, object permanence and physical and
sensory development. It also considers pertinent issues including
trauma, separation, loss and transition. Chapters explore each
topic from a theoretical perspective, before offering case studies
that illustrate the theory in practice, and a range of activities
to demonstrate the effectiveness of play in developing healthy
attachments. Key features of this book include: * 80 activities
that can be carried out at home or in educational settings,
designed to facilitate attachment and enhance social-emotional
development; * case vignettes exploring creative activities such as
mirroring, construction play, physical play, baby doll play and
messy play; * scripts and strategies to create a safe and
respectful environment for vulnerable children; * photocopiable and
downloadable resources, including early learning goals, a
collection of therapeutic stories and a transition calendar By
engaging children in these activities, parents, caregivers and
practitioners can help the children in their care gain a sense of
belonging and develop their self-esteem. This will be a valuable
resource for early years practitioners, adoptive, foster and
kinship parents, and therapists and social workers supporting young
children.
Life story work is an approach designed to enable traumatized
children to explore, question and understand the past events of
their lives. It aims to secure their future by strengthening
attachment with their carers and providing the opportunity to
develop a healthy sense of self and a feeling of wellbeing. This
new edited volume documents innovative ways in which life story
work has been developed. It draws on the work of nine life story
centres based around the world and provides understanding and
guidance for those working with children who have experienced
trauma. The book illustrates current theory and practice and looks
at how the approach is being used in a variety of settings
including schools, intensive services, youth justice, and
post-adoption support, highlighting its versatility. The importance
of trauma-informed practice when working with vulnerable children
is emphasised throughout, to help practitioners provide the best
for the children in their care.
