[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are doing a very good thing OP. Family and connection are the very core of what makes life works living, and I don’t think you’ll ever regret stepping up this way. [b]Check out the work of Karyn Purvis/The Connected Child [/b]for some helpful stuff on parenting a child who has been through trauma.[/quote] Yes very helpful reading. Also be aware there may be a honeymoon effect going on right now. Not at all atypical with children of trauma. Stay calm & it's great you have self awareness of possible rigid thinking. Ross Greene's writings are excellent and very helpful to strategize a plan if things start going south. Best of luck to you both, you are doing a wonderful thing that could change the course of his life in a profoundly positive way. ---Adopt mom of older child[/quote]
