About the Book
For too long, the adverse impacts of parental incarceration have remained in the shadows. This book, along with its companion volume, Children of Imprisoned Parents: A Guide to Holistic Caregiver and Child Well-Being (ISBN 978-1-4766-8716-2), illuminates the hidden challenges. Through an empowering journey, the authors help caregivers expand their understanding of children’s stress-response systems, allowing them to recognize how anxiety and grief may manifest in a child’s daily behaviors.
This comprehensive workbook provides caregivers with a safe space to practice, role-play, and tailor their responses to seemingly challenging situations typically associated with parental incarceration. Ultimately, users will learn how to forge strong connections between primary caregivers and their children. In a novel extension of the primary workbook content, the use of bibliotherapy–based children’s books equips caregivers to better comprehend children’s withdrawal, stigma, sadness, anger, and even perceived acting out in the home or classroom. Caregiver-led reading activities provide a perspective through which storybook characters show children that they are not alone in their circumstances.
