Beyond Behaviors, Beyond Consequences . . . Healing in a Hurting World drives toward seeking out the root causes to bring healing. Behaviors are often described by caregivers as leaves on a tree. Ultimately, healing must be more than just removing troubling behaviors. This book begins the dialogue among those caring for hurting children. The model is presented in down to earth language that caregivers can use to talk about the needs of children. Within the simple frame-work of Identify, Respond, Teach, Practice and Praise lies the timeless principles of scripture. The principles take us beyond just attempting to trim the behaviors back to searching out the root causes. Healing the hurt at the deepest levels allows for continued personal and spiritual development.
