Sinopsis

A title in CoramBAAF's popular Parenting Matters series. This practical handbook explores developmental delay and its effects on children. The first half of the book examines what developmental delay actually means for children, at different ages and developmental stages, including symptoms, how children are affected, and treatment. The book explores the important role of early life trauma, and how this can specifically affect children’s development, their abilities in school and how they interact with those around them. It outlines stresses and protective factors within family life, findings from child psychotherapy, what families can do to help children overcome developmental delay, and where to get further help. In the second half of the book, a family describe their experiences of parenting an affected child, and what this has meant and currently means for day-to-day family life. This is a title in CoramBAAF's popular Parenting Matters series which explores a range of health needs and conditions commonly associated with looked after children. Presented in a straightforward and accessible style, each title in the series combines expert information and first-hand experiences in order to help readers gain knowledge, achieve understanding, and make informed decisions about caring for an affected child.

Reseña del editor

Prospective adopters and carers are frequently faced with having to decide whether they can care for a child with a health need or condition they know little about and have no direct experience of. No easy task...Where can they turn for reliable information? What lies behind the diagnoses and labels that many looked after children bring with them? And what is it like to live with and care for such a child? Parenting a Child with Developmental Delay provides an explanation of developmental delay - including assessment, symptoms and prognosis - and what this term means for children.

It stresses the importance of focusing on the child as a whole person, including their personality, lifespan development, emotional well-being and life experiences, and not just the child's condition.

The strain placed on the family as a whole that living with a child with developmental delay can cause is addressed and case studies throughout provide 'real' examples of children and parents/carers living with a diagnosis.
