By (author): Amy King R.J. Gillespie
A growing body of research shows that early relational health is the essential factor in building resilience in children to buffer the effects of trauma and adversity and prevent toxic stress from occurring. This hands-on guide shows how to help build safe, stable, nurturing relationships between children and caregivers, and how to be responsive not just to childrens trauma, but to their parents as well. In the hands of Gillespie and King, what may seem like an overwhelming undertaking becomes one that we canand mustundertake to fully support the health and wellbeing of children.
