GROUNDED

Claire Wilson

Discovering the Missing Piece in the Puzzle of Children's Behaviour

Often children's behaviour leaves parents and professionals baffled and feeling totally disempowered. We've already changed things for 1000's of grown-ups... this book can help you too.

Every day, adults who care spend time with children without understanding the answers to these important questions:
- What is the BIG question every child is asking all the time, even though they don't realise it?
- What is really at the root of children's behaviour?
- How can adults help a child bring out their best (and it's not what you think)?

Grounded provides answers to these crucial questions and gives parents and professionals insight into the hidden dynamics that go on between an adult and a child - something that most parents and teachers don't know.

Are you around a child who..?
- feels like a mystery
- does things out of nowhere
- is getting a reputation for being naughty or badly behaved
- does things and then seems not to remember them
- has big emotional outbursts
- gets on OK with adults or younger children, but struggles with peers?
- goes quiet, withdrawn, even unresponsive
- you don't know what else to try

Often children's behaviour leaves parents and professionals baffled and feeling totally dis-empowered. We've already changed things for 1000's of grown-ups... this book can help you too.

Exploring the common desire adults share to be there for children, and bring out the bet in them, Grounded also provides significant insight into how adults often sabotage their great intentions by not understanding how the nervous system works.
The latest science of the nervus system, human survival interactions, neurophysiology and Polyvagal Theory are all brought to life and made accessible for any adult to understand. Packed with relatable, real-life stories of children interacting with adults in the classroom and at home, it is a must read for teachers, parents, and therapists.
A book with a message that is born out of 25 years of Claire Wilson's clinical, educational, and advisory experience, Grounded combines understanding with solutions and easy-to-apply practical tips. This is a must-have resource for all adults who spend time with children in homes, or schools, or anywhere.

Soon after starting work as a primary teacher, Claire Wilson realised she wanted to help children more significantly than just learning times tables. Wilson retrained and became a sought-after Play Therapist and Clinical Supervisor. Through this work, Wilson realised the greatest impact she could have on children was through supporting the parents and teachers around them.
Wilson spent over nine years as an Advisor and Therapeutic Consultant to primary schools across the UK. Currently, she works online developing her practices with adults who want to continue to become more GROUNDED GrownUps®, as well as continuing her writing career.

Insightful and sensitive. This important book provides a new understanding of a child's disruptive behaviour.

You are a genius! I LOVE your book. I love that your personality comes through in your writing. Your love and respect for all those you work with is clear - children, teachers, other professionals and parents..oh, and your dog! You have taken difficult concepts and made them accessible. I hope this resource is made widely available to everyone who has children in their lives. This will help them to see how they could make small changes which will result in huge changes for the children.

GROUNDED really needs to be on university library shelves And ultimately GROUNDED needs to become a required text for all teacher training /child care courses.

I've read GROUNDED from cover to cover. It's an extraordinary achievement! Congratulations! I know how hard it is to publish a book from start to finish, but you've done it in such style from the cover, the typeface, the diagrams and the clear text which just asks to be read As for the message, well there's no doubt you are going to help thousands, maybe millions of adults to have a clearer understanding of what their children need in order to feel safe and loved. I have no doubt that it will become a classic. Wonderful!

Grounded is a book that will enlighten and support everyone who has a child or works with children. Claire Wilson' compassionate and eloquent translation of brain science, the Polyvagal perspective and neuroception helps us all understand why humans act the way they do, and what we all can do to shift our lens towards relational healing.

I want to congratulate you on writing about such an important issue and writing about it so respectfully, eloquently and in a way that is so accessible. I really enjoyed your book. I think it's so important that we understand the neuroscience that explains why people respond or don't seem to respond in ways that we might like them to. I want you to know that your book is now cited, along with the work of Stephen Porges, as an important part of a review of research that I have just written for NEPS to inform our strategy in relation to Wellbeing in Education. I hope very much that helping people in schools feel safe, which you explain is so vital, will be the first step in our plan to support wellbeing. Thank you. This really was the missing link for me and I loved your writing.

I'm 3/4 through reading it and it's utterly brilliant! I have read loads of books around behaviour and relationships and nothing has brought about understanding like this one does.

Thank you for GROUNDED! I have been carrying your book around with me like a Bible since I got it just before the holidays. I am sharing your book with some of our leaders and the response is so exciting! You have created a treasure for those of us working in this field!

Half way in and never have I read anything so clear. Every school and parent needs this!

I just read your book over the last couple of days on the recommendation of a South African colleague. I am so impressed by the way you have explained the concepts of Grounding in such an easy to understand way... I think it should be prescribed reading for every parent/ teacher or probably just every human being!
