Assisting families with babies or toddlers in crisis situations : manual for professionals

Every day we witness crisis situations in the world. Wars, floods, earthquakes and similar catastrophes result in a large number of casualties, strongly mobilizing the public to offer various forms of assistance. From the tragic images, there are no reports on the consequences of these events on children in their first months of life. This is quite unjustifiable, for we know that they are the most vulnerable group in any society. Their exceptional vulnerability derives from their absolute, existential dependence on the help of others and their immature stress defense mechanisms. This paradox results from a lack of awareness concerning the bases of early growth and development in human beings, or children's needs and their ways of communicating with people around them. Guided by their personal experience, authors focus attention on the exceptional importance of organizing assistance in crisis situations. We believe that this is a practical way of helping you to achieve normal parenting.
