   I’ve bought this book as an adoptive parent to try and help equip myself and my son's teacher best help him in school. It’s got plenty of important reminders of the effect early years trauma has on a child’s development and what that can look like in outward behaviour. Lots of suggestions of what triggers can come up in a school environment and how to potentially recognise them and help the affected child navigate their big emotions. Would love every teacher to read this, and many adoptive parents like me will also find it helpful to help you work with your child and advocate for them.

   A fantastic book which has prompted many of the teachers I work with to have a look into the reasons why children are struggling to study.

   Firstly I'll be clear that I read as much as I possibly could in 3 hours before passing it on to my child's teacher - with a post-it of key sections I urged her to read. Despite not yet being able to read it cover to cover, I found it so useful. As a mum of an adopted son who has had an unexpected crisis on starting school, this book has been so helpful in giving ideas and backing up what I am telling school - who seem to have no real knowledge. The evidence base in the book is brilliant and the examples of common school approaches (eg the dreaded behaviour chart of shame on the class wall) and their impact on children with trauma or attachment issues - together with effective alternatives - should help schools who take on board the information and are sufficiently confident to make changes - to do just that.
   It should be on every teacher's bookshelf - looking a little tired from repeated reading. More importantly, it should be brought to life in the classroom. Thank you for a much needed and inspiring book.

   This book is a great read. It covers everything that schools should learn about how to deal with children who have suffered trauma and have attachment difficulties. The best thing is that Rebecca Brooks was a teacher and is an adoptive parent so she ‘sees’ both sides and writes in a simplistic way so schools are able to implement ways to help children with these hidden disabilities.
   I bought two copies and donated one to my daughter’s school. I just hope they make it part of their staff’s CPD training.

   Quite possibly the best thing I have bought this year.
   Easy to read, good expert advice and practical ideas on how to support/help. Set out to explain in bite sized chunks - what, why, what that might look like, how to approach and things that might work. Cannot recommend highly enough. Every school/teacher/childcare worker needs to read this. Wish I had had it years ago.

   As an adoptive parent, this is the book I wished I had when our children first came to live with us. This fantastic book is packed full of practical information for both classroom teachers and parents alike. Very easy to read and "dip" into. Extremely good for adoptive parents that want to build a strong home to school relationship with their child's school (both primary and secondary). I know for many adoptive parents, schools are a cause of high anxiety. This book will give you the confidence and knowledge to support your child's school to become "adoption friendly". There are lots of real life examples of approaches to try from schools in the UK that are already "trauma and attachment aware". I have already bought a second copy; one for me and one I am donating to my children's school inclusion team!
