Parenting Matters: Parenting a child with eating and food issues
Eating and food issues can be common in children – but for those who are looked after and adopted, these problems can last a lot longer or reoccur at later ages, affecting family life and meaning that children are less able to benefit from supportive care. For this group, everyday techniques to help children with eating issues may not be enough, as they do not address the underlying causes – these children’s difficult early experiences.
Parenting Matters: Parenting a child with toileting issues
Toileting issues in children and young people who are past the age of toilet training are a particularly sensitive, taboo subject. However, they are not uncommon, particularly in fostered and adopted children, where they are the most commonly reported physical problem. For this group, the physical explanations that can often solve the issue in the general population frequently do not address the deep-seated reasons or possible solutions to this distressing condition. Children and families can be left distressed and exhausted, while underlying emotional or psychological issues are missed.
Parenting Matters: Parenting a child with sleep issues
Sleep issues are common in babies and toddlers – but for looked after and adopted children, these problems can last a lot longer or reoccur at later ages, affecting family life and meaning that children are less able to benefit from supportive care. For this group, everyday techniques to help children sleep may not be enough, as they do not address the underlying causes – these children’s difficult early experiences.
