About the Training It’s no secret that adopting an older child has its own unique challenges. On a rough day, navigating those challenges can be exhausting. You may question if your child will ever attach, or if you are equipped to meet your child’s needs. You may wonder why everything you try just seems to make things worse. And parenting “advice” from friends and family who don’t understand can leave you feeling even more isolated and overwhelmed. The good news is there is help. Join us for this webinar where we will explore: The relationship between brain development and attachment Distinguishing between “normal” behavior vs. trauma-related behavior The emotional conflicts for both YOU and your child When to use structure and discipline vs. reassurance and nurturing Common pitfalls that hurt more than help Keys to fostering safety and security for everyone in the home How to “center” yourself to provide the healing your child needs.
