Meer over het boek

This guide is designed for mental health clinicians, including counselors, social workers, and psychologists, who work with children and families impacted by trauma and adversity, known as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). It focuses on practitioners aiming to intervene with parents, providing practical strategies for fostering children's emotional development. Building on traditional parenting programs, the book offers tools for clinicians to help parents enhance their children's emotion regulation skills. Emotion regulation is an adaptive process involving the monitoring, evaluation, and modification of emotions to achieve goals and meet environmental demands. Research indicates that effective emotion regulation is crucial for healthy psychological and social development, serving as a key life skill that predicts positive long-term outcomes. Current parent training manuals often overlook this essential aspect, making this book particularly relevant. It will specifically address how parents can support their children's emotion regulation development, especially since children affected by trauma frequently struggle with emotion dysregulation. This targeted approach is both timely and necessary, filling a significant gap in existing resources.
