For too long, the adverse impacts of parental incarceration have remained in the shadows. This book and its companion workbook, Children of Imprisoned Parents: A Workbook for Holistic Caregiver and Child Well-Being (ISBN 978-1-4766-8717-9), illuminate the hidden challenges, helping caregivers to understand children's stress-response systems and enabling them to recognize how anxiety and grief may manifest in a child's daily behaviors. How do you recover from the pain of telling children mistruths about parental arrest and imprisonment? How does parental incarceration affect child development and the body-brain connection? Are children of incarcerated parents prone to incarceration themselves? With sensitivity and clarity, the authors address a range of questions including such tough topics as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), trauma, childhood suicide ideation, and grief and loss. Readers will find evidence-based, trauma-informed interventions and practical tools to promote coping, emotional regulation, and stress reduction. Trauma-responsive and healing-centered approaches empower caregivers and their children to thrive in the face of daunting challenges.
