One of the ways parents manage to cope is to know that others have been through the same experiences. Then you learn that it isn’t just about coping – there are positive stories to tell.’ –DavidCameronMP Fathers of disabled children can feel overlooked when the focus of much parenting support is aimed at mothers.

This is a truly remarkable book. We must all ensure that it becomes life changing.

Chapters take the form of letters to a child capturing their life experiences, hugely impacted by sexual abuse, parental substance misuse and loss, leading to feelings of shame, rejection and worthlessness. Batmanghelidjh offers understanding for those baffled by these hard-to-reach children and warns against stigmatizing them for their problem behaviour. Society’s failure to acknowledge the truth of their experiences and act to change the environment in which such mistreatment can flour- ish is, she strongly argues, leading to the death of childhood. The book is a clarion call for change. Camila Batmanghelidjh trained as a psychotherapist and for more than twenty years has worked with exceptionally disturbed chil- dren and young people in the two charities she has founded, The Place2Be and Kids Company. Focusing on the inner city, these have concentrated on giving vulnerable children greater resilience in the face of traumatic life experiences.
