This presents a challenge to those assessing and working with these children: how can one determine whether the child’s presentation relates to trauma, ADHD or autism?...

Many people working with families find themselves called on to give advice on a whole range of issues: How do I get my baby to sleep? What should I do when my toddler throws a tantrum? How do I get my pre-schooler to eat nutritious food? What should I do when my child talks back? How should I respond when my children fight....and on and on....!
