Publisher's Synopsis
A better chance of a happy Christmas!Christmas can be such a difficult time of year for children who have experienced trauma. They hear about Santa coming into their house at night! They are told if they are not good that Santa will not come. Sometimes presents get broken and family visits can turn into a nightmare!This Christmas story is written by an adopter of five children and her eldest daughter. The family had all these experiences and more! It gives parents and carers therapeutic parenting strategies to manage feelings of anxiety, which specifically seem to arise at this time of year. The story brings together all five children from the successful Therapeutic Parenting series of children's books and explores common issues encountered by many families at this time of year.This story not only gives parents valuable insight into WHY our children's behaviour often deteriorates at Christmas, but also enables them to read helpful words, (through a third party therapeutic parent), to their child and explain the feelings and resulting behaviours to them.
