Thorns Among the Briar Roses
Author: Bette Shiels
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1456882902
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
This story is a true account of one family's trials and enjoyment of fostering children; some names have been changed to protect the guilty. Our family didn't choose to foster; fostering was thrust upon us. It was a very gradual process that endured for fifteen years. The need to tell this story became an obsession and was exacerbated each time I read about adults receiving light sentences for destroying innocent children's lives. I hope that anyone contemplating fostering will read this and weigh up the consequences of being ill equipped to cope with emotionally unstable humans. There are good ad bad sides to caring; really caring, for other people's children. The most commonly asked question any foster-parent hears is, "How can you love them, then give them up?" My standard answer was always the same. If we can show just one child what being loved is all about, even for a short period of time, it will give him or her a dream to follow.

Evidence-based skills, insight, and methods drawn from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help you gain a greater understanding of your child’s behavior, parent them with compassion and confidence, and restore peace to your home. Is your child extremely irritable most of the time? Do they have difficulty interpreting social cues? Are they impulsive and prone to outbursts or explosive rages?

It contains a powerful set of skills based in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)—including mindfulness, validation, limit-setting, and behavior-shaping—to help you better understand your child and their behavior, and successfully find balance between acceptance and change, flexibility and consistency, and limits and love.

Let this book guide you toward creating a nurturing, healthy, and loving environment in which your whole family can thrive.
