I don’t have adopted kids, but many of these parenting techniques are just what I need to switch things up.

I was just looking at my FB, and one of my friends who does have adopted kids posted that she’s in the middle of a rough morning. The Lord may have wanted her to see the videos, and I got to be the in-betweener. :0)

This has been a week of trying to regroup my thoughts about parenting my older, adopted children. Your article is very timely and I look forward to viewing Christine’s videos. I feel like I’ve read at least a million books on the subject of parenting hurt kids and my brain is on overload in terms of what to do next. I need to hit my knees and beg for more wisdom.

Thanks for the link to Deborah Hage – I found her articles very interesting and thought provoking, and helpful too, as we are having a problem with a child who is not part of our family but spends a lot of time with us after school. It is great to have some insight on how to deal with kids who you haven’t known from babyhood and who have a lot of past history to deal with.

Thank you SO much for these links! I’ve only watched two of the videos so far, but I already know that they will be a wealth of information for us. Our son was only three when he came home, but we’re definitely encountering some post-orphanage behaviors that need to be addressed. Books are wonderful, but hearing a real mom detail her experiences really does affirm that our reactions and behavior can impact our hurting children in a really positive way. THANK YOU, again!!
