Description
The A‑Z of Therapeutic Parenting: Strategies and Solutions by Sarah Naish is a concise yet powerful resource designed for adoptive, foster, kinship, and therapeutic parents navigating complex childhood behaviors. Ordered alphabetically, the book breaks down more than 60 common behavioral challenges—from aggression and sleep issues to attachment struggles—and provides clear explanations for why these behaviors occur, along with practical strategies for immediate intervention and long-term prevention.
Structured in two complementary sections, the opening chapters outline the foundational principles of therapeutic parenting—including trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and emotional regulation techniques. The bulk of the book serves as a quick-reference toolkit, allowing caregivers to look up behaviors as soon as they arise and act confidently with tailored intervention ideas, routines, and emotional support techniques.
Respected by both professionals and parents, it is praised for its direct tone, user-friendly layout, and supportive approach. Many readers say they turn to it as a trusted go-to guide in moments of confusion or crisis—making it ideal for busy carers who need clarity fast. Practical without being patronizing, The A‑Z of Therapeutic Parenting empowers readers to foster trusting relationships, build emotional safety, and nurture long-term healing.
