Therapeutic Parenting

Physiological Response to Maltreatment Children who are abused or neglected miss out on key nurturing experiences They may experience chronic stress through caregiving that is frightening or absent Acute stress experienced over a prolonged period can have a negative impact on the physiology of the brain and affect: planning and reasoning self-regulation mood and impulse control

Maltreated Children and Attachment Children may have developed insecure or disorganised attachments as a result of poor caregiving and maltreatreatment Children arrive in their placements with established behavior patterns based on their relationships with their previous caregivers Carers need to adapt their parenting style to ‘fit’ with the child’s behaviour

Promoting Developmental Recovery (1) Children's response to traumatic events varies: 'fight or flight' response is activated and they become hyperaroused fighting or fleeing is not possible so the child 'freezes‘ Standard parenting techniques may not work with these children Foster carers and adopters need to develop alternative therapeutic parenting techniques to help build children’s resilience

Promoting Developmental Recovery (2) Maltreated children develop strategies to stay safe by not letting carers get in control They may continue to show a range of controlling behaviors, which can upset or annoy their new carers Carers need to understand their children and provide sensitive and reflective parenting to help their recovery Successful care requires emotional attunement, and a willingness to understand how the world feels from the child's perspective

Secure Base Model The Secure Base Model promotes security and resilience. It is based around five dimensions: availability- helping the child to trust sensitivity- helping the child to manage feelings and behavior acceptance- building the child's self esteem co-operation- helping the child to feel effective family membership- helping the child to belong (Schofield and Beek, 2009)

Supporting Foster Carers and Adopters Parenting a traumatised child can involve high levels of stress Carers and adopters need support to help them care for their children and to make sense of their behavior Foster carers need the following areas of support: close links with family placement social workers clear and consistent communication between fostering teams and foster families access to out of hours and other professional support services feeling part of a wider team supporting a child Carers and adopters may need to access specialist interventions such as MTFC KEEP Fostering Changes AdOpt
