This applied psychology book notes the problems that children who experience traumatic loss (such as losing a parent to prison), trauma, abuse and neglect may face at school.
These issues include inability to respond to behaviour modification techniques and failure to thrive in the system. The author uses attachment theory to develop and put forward new, practice based methods for school staff to use in work with these children. The book includes sections relevant to school staff working with children who have experienced parental imprisonment. Such sections include attachment difficulties which may impact on learning; benefits and challenges of getting along with children who have experienced loss; wondering aloud; developing effective home/school partnership (includes an initial meeting prompt card that can be photocopied); lowering the effects of shame and more.
