Parenting other people\u2019s children is a privilege<\/strong><\/h1>\n

This new book \u2018It\u2019s a privilege\u2019 sets out to challenge the established view that children in public care are \u2018problem children\u2019. Bringing emotional warmth parenting into the life of a child who has endured emotional coldness and trauma, will not only bring joy, fun and meaning into the child\u2019s life, but can do the same (and much more) for the adults in the parenting role.
\nThe eight \u2018Pillars of Parenting\u2019 are used to identify the child\u2019s parenting needs then to prioritise parenting tasks in order to build and support the child\u2019s psychological wellbeing. However, children need time and support to recover from emotional trauma, and the book provides insight into the impact of trauma, how this can lead to challenging behaviour and importantly, how to understand and respond helpfully. The book invites the reader to uncover their strengths and then to help the young person to find and use their strengths, skills and hidden talents.<\/p>\n
