Sarah Naish is a therapeutic parent who adopted 5 siblings from a background of severe neglect and abuse, with reactive attachment disorder and many other trauma associated conditions. Over the next 17 years, she helped the children to understand their own behaviours, make connections to each other and their adoptive parents, and to overcome the very real, debilitating problems associated with attachment difficulties.Sarah went on to work in the UK as a Social Worker in adoption and fostering, then set up and ran her own therapeutic fostering agency. This agency gained an Ofsted 'Outstanding' award in 2013-2014 and led to Sarah winning 'Woman of the Year' in the Women in Business Awards.… Sarah now works full time in the UK leading research into compassion fatigue, in foster care, and training social work professionals, adopters and foster carers in healing children through therapeutic parenting techniques, thereby achieving better outcomes for all children who have suffered early life trauma.Rosie Jefferies is Sarah's eldest daughter. She worked alongside Sarah in her therapeutic fostering agency in the UK. Rosie now works full time with Inspire Training Group, part of Fostering Attachments Ltd, with Sarah, helping to train foster carers, adopters and social work professionals in therapeutic parenting techniques. Rosie has helped to edit this series of books by paying close attention to how the child characters are feeling, how they are reacting, and amending and advising where necessary, to ensure that as accurate reflection as possible is given of the child's inner emotions.
