Over 40 different issues are covered, from dysregulation and fear, to setting boundaries and parenting in the midst of trauma.
The perfect introduction for new therapeutic parents, family members, teachers or other adults who need to help support you and your child, this Quick Guide will also be a source of inspiration for more experienced parents.
