She even has a talent for drawing gorgeous and intricate pictures. But Jessie also knows how to get her own way and will lie, scream, shout, and hurt to get just exactly what she wants. Her parents say they can't take her back, and her social workers struggle to deal with her destructive behavior and wild mood swings. After her chaotic passage through numerous foster placements, Jessie has finally received a diagnosis of an attachment disorder. Attachment disorders arise when children are deprived of the all-important close bonds with trustworthy adults that allow them to develop emotionally and thrive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally, educational psychologist Torey Hayden is called in to help. Torey agrees to weekly meetings with Jessie to try and uncover why she is acting out. Torey's gentle care and attention reveal shocking truths behind Jessie's lies. Can Torey and the other social workers help to provide the consistent loving care that has so far been missing in Jessie's life, or will she push them away too?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 244g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 171 x 154 x 22 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781509864485                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Torey Hayden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44100663673082,"sku":"9781509864485","price":7.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/d54079e609270ad5f25e6546171ddf0e.jpg?v=1626661819","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/lost-child-the-true-story-of-a-girl-who-couldnt-ask-for-help","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
