Dare to Love: The Art of Merging Science and Love… di Heather T. Forbes
Emerging science has helped us to understand children better from a neurological and behavioral standpoint. Yet, all the academic research coupled with the best diagnoses for children can still leave parents feeling completely powerless. In her book, Dare to Love, Heather Forbes, LCSW, describes in detail, through a series of questions and answers, how to merge science into everyday parenting. This book gives practical, effective, and loving solutions for any parent struggling with his or her child. It will leave you feeling empowered, hopeful, and excited to be a parent, again.

Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control covers in detail the effects of trauma on the body-mind and how trauma alters children's behavioral responses. The first four chapters help parents and professionals clearly understand the neurological research behind the basic model given in this book, deemed, 'The Stress Model.' While scientifically based in research, it is written in an easy to understand and easy to grasp format for anyone working with or parenting children with severe behaviors. The next seven chapters are individually devoted to seven behaviors typically seen with attachment-challenged children. These include lying, stealing, hoarding.

I hear many people speak highly of this book. However, I don't believe that one method works with all hurt kids. This has some great concepts but its approach will not cure every child.
The authors offer a different approach to difficult behaviors that stem from early childhood trauma. They propose empathy and reassurance in the face of misbehavior with the idea that children are acting out of fear, not out of a desire to manipulate or control. It is a different approach and has the potential for emotional healing. There are some personal experiences in the back of the book that illustrate ways to put this approach in action, and overall this book is short and easy to read.
