Review Quotes: This book is an excellent resource for all those affected by kinship care. It is written in an accessible and informative format, making it suitable for kinship carers and practitioners alike. It helps individuals navigate their way through the complicated legal processes and emotional challenges that may occur within kinship care, always keeping the needs of the child central. The book includes a helpful focus on therapeutic parenting; helping carers to understand and respond to the emotions of the child and building a strong and supportive bond. The kinship carer's own wellbeing and self-care is also rightly prioritised. Kinship carers and multi- agency practitioners who read this book, will wonder how they ever coped before it was published!--Dr Alison Prowle, Department of Children and Families, University of Worcester
