Jo Francis talks to author Hetty Verhagen about her Parenting Matters book, Parenting a child affected by child to parent violence and aggression.
Child to parent violence is a distressing phenomenon for any family, but it may be more common in children who have been separated from their birth family and who experienced abuse, neglect or other trauma in their early years. Aggression can become a problem at different ages and stages, and may have its roots in a variety of causes. For parents and carers of these children who are seeking to help them manage or overcome this difficulty, it is imperative that the past informs the present – to relate this early trauma to the child’s difficulties now, and to use this knowledge to inform healing and development for the child.
Read the book - Parenting Matters: Parenting a child affected by child to parent violence and aggression.
