Attachment Books

The title says it all. This is our favorite attachment resource, and it's by a local therapist, to boot.

A soaked-in-science parenting book with an emphasis on how past histories of neglect and trauma can influence brain development and behavior.

A great resource for parents who find that raising their children is also bringing up issues from their own childhoods. Resolving your own issues (we've all got 'em) so that you can respond, instead of react to your children is an essential component of attachment therapy and therapeutic parenting.
