Raising The Challenging Child

Strengthen Your Relationship with Your Child

What's the worst you've ever faced as a parent? An all-out tantrum at the mall? A son who won't take out his earbuds to listen to you? A daughter who's failing at school and won't do her homework? A teen who constantly breaks curfew? A call from the police? Whatever you're dealing with, Raising the Challenging Child will help.

The authors empower frustrated parents with practical tips and real-life examples on how to:

  • minimize behavioral meltdowns
  • reduce conflict
  • increase cooperation
  • promote healthy attachment
  • improve family relationships

The strategies they share work both for the child who is going through a difficult phase brought on by life, disruption, or trauma and for the child who faces chronic struggles. Parents, teachers, and those who work with children and youth will find positive, practical steps they can start taking today in order to understand and address the baffling behavior of the child under their care.

Beyond Trauma Care

AVAILABLE NOW!

For decades, “trauma-informed care” has been reduced to buzzwords and posters. But real change asks us to transform entire systems—from classrooms and clinics to agencies and state policy. Beyond Trauma Care offers a comprehensive roadmap to do just that. Grounded in Chaddock’s Developmental Trauma and Attachment Program (DTAP®), this book moves leaders from awareness to action with practical frameworks, real-world stories, and clear strategies for embedding healing relationships into every layer of an organization. If you’re ready to go beyond trauma training and create systems that truly heal—this is your guide.

Attachment Theory in Action Book Cover

Attachment Theory in Action

Building Connections Between Children and Parents

In this volume, distinguished therapists and clinicians offer a broad range of effective attachment-based interventions for children with a history of attachment difficulties and complex trauma. Stepping through attachment theory and the latest research in neuroscience, the contributors illustrate how the treatment of developmental trauma often requires implementing more than one clinical model. Including chapters on the practical application of dyadic developmental psychotherapy, mindfulness, theraplay, and EMDR, Attachment Theory in Action offers mental health professionals insights into helping even the most challenging patients.
