Or the one that seemed to know exactly what was going on everywhere else but was paying no attention at all to the lesson? Understanding the parent-child attachment bond and the impact of adverse childhood experiences is vital for care givers to understand the importance of their role in supporting the healing of developmental trauma. This edition also features an interview with the NATP’s Glynis Hough who has many years of successful fostering experience but who recently experienced great anguish when her foster daughter left the family for good. By being aware, informed, sensitive and responsive to trauma, we increase our chances of helping children and young people feel safe, develop trust and invest in relationships and support services. Promoting Stability Team (PST) Empathy involves us opening our hearts and minds so that we can share in what others feel. When this is other people’s pain and despair, it can make us vulnerable.

PACE parenting is not a strategy or a tool, it’s a way of being. It encourages you to therapeutically engage in conversation with your child. Will learned patterns of behaviour make re-parenting and learning new cultural norms an uphill battle? There’s plenty of good advice here on effective de-escalation techniques and Jane also refers to two courses* provided by the National Association of Therapeutic Parents (the NATP) as well as to the non-violence resistance courses available through many local authorities in the UK. This could well be a repeat of the survival mechanism that served them well during times of extreme stress before they joined your family.

I recently had a Facebook Live conversation with Sarah Naish to talk about our work together and how schools can better interface with and learn about trauma, adverse childhood experiences and therapeutic parenting. As NATP expert Jane Mitchell explains, they are rightly furious with those responsible for the abuse their child must have suffered in an earlier existence.
