Making decisions about effective discipline is often confusing for adoptive parents. While it is clear that there are differences in how we need to respond to children with trauma histories, it is often not so clear exactly how to do that.
This workshop explores the implications of a child’s early history, and how it offers parents insight into what children need in order to form healthy attitudes and responses. The presenter will discuss some of the common child-behaviour concerns that parents have presented in therapy, and the attachment-based responses that have proven effective. Parents will take away from this workshop some key principles for making informed decisions in responding to difficult behaviours.
