Distressed or Deliberately Defiant?: Managing challenging student behaviour due to trauma and disorganised attachment Paperback – May 1, 2013

A most valuable resource for educators or anyone that cares to help troubled children with Behaviour issues.

This is absolutely a must read for any therapist working with difficult children or parents too for that matter! ! I just wish that her examples of children's behaviors weren't so severe. It applies to children who by all appearance might have a 'normal' upbringing, but still have a disorganized attachment disorder!

A must read for all educators. Research based, easy to read, practical and encouraging. A great support to any school but particularly for a PB4L school.

This book has some good basic information for those with no training in trauma; however, as a psychologist I was looking for more.

Great read! Wish I had read it 2 years ago! So sadly applicable to many children!

I recommend for anyone adopting or with adopted kids who struggle.

A mind changing book. Every teacher should have a copy.

A must read for all teachers.

This book is an easy read and gets right to the point. I ended up purchasing one for each of my staff members.

Learning about trauma and how to cater for this in my classroom.

This is essential reading for all teachers, Administration and support staff to really try to understand some of our very "troublesome" students and how best to help them based on the latest brain research.

What a fabulous and handy little book! Great strategies related to managing the Crisis Behaviour piece in Trauma Sensitive School practices. Teachers (and other school staff) will get support in changing how we view the :Lagging Skills in Behaviour Self-Regulation for children who have experienced trauma. This would be a great book for a whole-staff book study as it would allow essential conversations related to adult assumptions (and myths) about the behaviour of children to occur.

Excellent little book. Loaded with info.
