A little squirrel announces that he was once very, very, scared and finds out that he is not alone. Lots of little animals went through scary experiences, but they react in different ways. Turtle hides and gets a tummy ache, monkey clings, dog barks, and elephant doesn't like to talk about it. They need help, and they get help from grown-ups who help them feel safe and learn ways to cope with difficult feelings. This story was written to help children and grown-ups understand how stress can affect children and ways to help them.

Ellie's dad did not come for their visit, and Ellie is stuck in a cloud of sadness and anger as she tries to understand why. Fortunately, Miss K. and Ellie's Uncle Finny are there to help her. Using the metaphor of a wave, they help Ellie talk about and understand her daddy's ups and downs, recognize and hold on to loving memories, and know that she is not alone. Millions of young children live in families with an adult who is struggling due to trauma (ACEs), mental illness (PTSD, depression, bipolar), substance abuse, or other addiction. Daddy's Waves was written for any child who has a family member who struggles with emotional waves whether they live together or not. The story was developed to open doors to conversations that young children need to have. When family members have challenges, young children worry about them and often have many difficult questions. They need the help of grown-ups within and outside their families To have language for the challenges that their parents face To know that they can talk about tough times and good times To better understand why their parent may not be around And, very importantly, to keep good memories alive because these memories shape their view of themselves as worthy of love Daddy's Waves shows us that these conversations are possible, important, and support healing and connection. While the book was written specifically for children whose parents have struggled with addiction or mental illness, other children may benefit from having language and dialogue that helps them to empathically understand the challenges that too many families are facing. Daddy's Waves is the second book in the Ellie Bean series and was developed by the team that created Once I Was Very Very Scared, You Weren't With Me, Holdin Pott, and the Trinka and Sam story series as tools to help families heal after stressful or traumatic events. Daddy's Waves is an adaptation of Mama's Waves and was developed at the request of families and therapists.

Dit boek is een handleiding voor ouder-kindpsychotherapie (CPP, child-parent psychotherapy). Het richt zich op therapeuten die jonge tot zeer jonge kinderen (0 tot 5 jaar) behandelen die geweld of een andere traumatische gebeurtenis hebben meegemaakt. Het boek geeft theoretische achtergronden vanuit de psychoanalyse, de hechtingstheorie en de ontwikkelingspathologie. Ook geeft het voorbeelden van toe te passen interventies. Blijf van mijn mama af! laat zien dat ouder-kindpsychotherapie een waardevolle behandelvorm is voor jonge kinderen die getuige of slachtoffer zijn (geweest) van huiselijk geweld. De therapie kan ook worden toegepast bij andere vormen van trauma zoals emotionele, lichamelijke en seksuele mishandeling, blootstelling aan geweld, ernstige verwondingen, pijnlijke ziektes en medische behandelingen. De beschreven therapie is evidencebased en nadrukkelijk gericht op de relatie met de ouders of verzorgers van het kind. Hierbij is veel aandacht voor veiligheid en vertrouwen tegenover gevaar en angst. Van alle interventies worden voorbeelden gegeven aan de hand van vijf uitgebreide casussen en in de vorm van vele kortere vignetten. Deze, uit het Engels vertaalde, uitgave is een tweede, herziene druk van Don’t hit my mommy!, oorspronkelijk uitgegeven door ZERO TO THREE: National Center for Infants, Toddlers and Families in 2015. ‘Dit klassieke werk is gebaseerd op tientallen jaren ervaring van de auteurs als therapeut en opleider. De toepassing van ouder-kindpsychotherapie (CPP) is sinds verschijning van het oorspronkelijke boek aanzienlijk uitgebreid, met name voor gezinnen die te maken hebben met geweld, op basis van een indrukwekkende hoeveelheid wetenschappelijk bewijs en steeds meer trainers. Naast een rijke hoeveelheid andere hulpmiddelen biedt het boek vele gedetailleerde, fijngevoelige en helder geschreven voorbeeldcasussen die laten zien hoe je ouders en jonge kinderen kunt bijstaan bij het genezen van trauma’s. Ik raad u aan het te lezen, en te herlezen.’ – Charles H. Zeanah jr., MD, Institute of Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health, Tulane University
