Institutionalisation affects a child's brain development, physical development, cognitive development, emotional development and stress response. Understanding how care in an institution is different from care in a family and the effects this has on a child helps parents prepare to welcome their child and support him or her. The book also gives some advice on pitfalls and helpful approaches to caring for a previously institutionalised child, handling challenging behaviour, and helping the child catch up on delayed or skipped development. Areas discussed are expectation management, a general understanding of the development of the brain and the stress response system in a child, the roles of attachment, physical contact, stimulation, attention, and living in the community in child development, and the effects of institutionalisation such as attachment disorders, challenging behaviour, self-harm, and health problems. And how to help the child build trust and relationships, how to help reduce stress and establish felt safety, and deal with challenging behaviour - including positive disciplining in a way that does not cause further harm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47572459880599,"sku":"9781471722608","price":2136.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781471722608.webp?v=1774889955","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/understanding-the-trauma-of-institutionalised-children-to-support-the-child-you-adopt-9781471722608","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
