Children who have been adopted and/or shuttled through the foster-care system experience trauma at a much higher rate than other kids, which can make it difficult for them to trust, relax, regulate their emotions, and connect with their new families. As a parent, learning how to heal attachment trauma, attune to your child's needs, identify triggers, and create felt safety is essential to providing the loving, supportive, and stable home they need to thrive. Written for parents of adopted and foster kids of all ages, this book offers resources for handling common concerns.

Just what I have been looking for!

Thank you so much! This was just the information I needed. I am the guardian of my grandson. I have been made to feel, even by his therapists, that my grandson is fine, and only needs to work on separating from me, he has extreme separation anxiety. But the first 6 months of his life he was neglected and lived in a very violent home. I have read The Body Keeps The Score so I understand that trauma even as an infant has an impact on development and wellbeing. He also has all the behavior issues of a child with PTSD. Your book gave me very practical strategies I was able to start today. Scented lotion works magic for him, thank you! I feel so much more equipped to care for him now. I have been wondering if I should find him a different therapist now I know I should. I will be looking for a different therapist who understands trauma better. Thank you!
