Food and eating 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. This book provides authoritative, clinical guidance for carers and adopters on why eating issues can occur and what can be done about them.

This book looks at sleep issues - what may cause sleep problems in fostered and adopted children, how to understand the often deep-seated triggers, and how to go about addressing and managing the child's difficulties. It also describes what it is like to parent a child affected by sleep issues, with firsthand accounts from two adopters who share their parenting experiences and offer useful advice as to what worked for them. This combination of expert information and firsthand experiences will help readers to gain knowledge, achieve understanding and to make informed decisions.
