Parent-directed aggression and violence by children is a complex issue and may not be explained by focusing upon a single factor. The affected parents tend to delay seeking help from professionals due to not knowing where to seek help or even an inability to identify their experiences as a problem. This book provides parents and professionals with the much-needed information to tackle this incidence.

In this book, Hue San Kuay and Graham Towl draw upon the evidence from past studies and case examples to describe the occurrence of child to parent aggression and violence, and highlight the roles by individuals and communities in intervening and preventing agression and violence. The nature-versus-nurture debate is included and callous-unemotional traits are explained as a predictor of aggression. The effect of parent-directed aggression is discussed, and prevention and intervention methods are presented. Delaying help-seeking could lead to serious consequences and make it harder to effectively intervene.

Child to Parent Aggression and Violence is an essential read for practitioners and researchers working with parents, and most importantly, for parents themselves. This book includes suggestions for interventions, self-assessment on parent-directed aggression by children, and points of contact as reference to ease the process for both parents and practitioners.

Reviews for Child to Parent Aggression and Violence: A Guidebook for Parents and Practitioners

"""A wonderfully practical resource for professionals, parents and carers alike who are supporting children and young people with histories of child to parent violence. For too long families and carers have suffered in silence, often too ashamed or frightened to disclose acts of child to parent violence. This book not only outlines the theory that underpins such behaviour but introduces useful intervention strategies to explore with children and young people, it is a must read for those working in this field."" —Michael A. Taylor, NHS Yorkshire and Humber Forensic CAMHS, UK"
