Inside I'm Hurting :

Practical Strategies for

Supporting Children with
Attachment Difficulties in
Schools
 By

 Pupils who survive multiple traumatic experiences of loss, trauma,
abuse and neglect can easily be misunderstood in our schools,
despite our good intentions. Such children often underachieve, at
worst becoming excluded from the very place that could offer them
an opportunity for "second chance learning" and for reaching their
potential. These children do not respond well or consistently to
behavioural modification techniques, nor are they able to thrive in a
system largely created for those from a "good-enough" background.
Louise Bomber's innovative and easy to use strategies provide
teachers and teaching assistants with new perspectives, practical
tools and the confidence for supporting these children. Her work is
based on the latest research from child development and Attachment
theory (Bowlby), as well as many years of solid practical experience
as a teacher-therapist working within education and social services
with children, families and schools.
Contents include: providing an additional attachment figure in
schools, transitions during the school day, permanency and
constancy, regulating arousal levels, wondering aloud, lowering the
effects of shame, creating home/school partnerships, working with
the transition from primary to secondary phase, and more.
