The Boy Who Was Raised by a Dog, by Bruce Perry

i had a student who would wake up from nap time with his fingernails chewed and hands bleeding :(

I've noticed among my severely abused CASA kids that everyone gives a lot of gifts to make up for what happened, but the kids never show the excitement or gratitude that people expect; is that because they had to dull the horrible feelings so that also dulls the joyful feelings?

Excellent and so helpful. Thank you!

Thank you for the insightful information and not bogging us down with a lot of high brow terms and language.
