Crit Containing Books The Connected Child: Bring Hope and Healing to Your Adoptive Family

I probably read this too early, but my husband and I are talking about talking about looking into adoption (ie: very early/tentative/maybe stages) and when I asked in Litsy, a friend who adopted two kids not as babies said this book was everything. It's definitely not the parenting style I was raised in, and while I do know enough to know I don't want to raise a child the way I was raised, I don't necessarily know anything at all. This would be a book to revisit when dealing with behavioral

I loved the practical tips along the way to help care for a foster/adopted child who has experienced traumatic situations in their life.

This book was written by Karyn Purvis, who is the Director of the Institute of Child Development at Texas Christian University (TCU) . She specializes in helping families who have adopted or are fostering at-risk children from troubled backgrounds or from other countries and cultures.

Dr. Karyn Purvis was a genius.

Excellent resource with lots of practical tips.

This is BY FAR the most helpful book I've read on attachment, bonding and helping a traumatized child learn to feel safe and yet not allow them to overly control the life of your family due to their very real struggles and issues. Written by two PhD's at Texas Christian University, they provide common-sense understanding of what triggers fear and other struggles in traumatized children while offering very helpful and HOPEFUL strategies for compassionate, loving, strong and effective parenting to
