I read this volume because I have an adopted daughter that I am struggling to connect with. I thought it was exceptional. There were several chapters applicative only to adopted and foster children, however the rest of it I would recommend to whatever parent.

Hither'due south a few of the gems I found personally beneficial:

1)A lot of my daughter'due south behaviors that drive me insane aren't her personality--it's a upshot of where she began and are coping/survival mechanisms. I actually was surprised at how many behaviors they listed that my daughter does, almost word for word. It makes information technology easier to exist empathetic (another matter they stress).

2) I actually liked Ch. 5--"Teaching Life Values." It was nifty considering it gave articulate, usable strategies (backed up with research)that are things I could instantly implement.

iii) Ditto that with Ch. half dozen--"You Are the Dominate." I've already have been trying a lot of their recommended corrective approaches with my girl. What surprised me at beginning, is that even though I stay calmer, she gets more than mad. Especially when I make her do "re-dos." It does make sense though. Before I would just yell at her and then we'd motility on, now it'due south much more involved and requires her to reply to me and practice, and takes fashion more of her fourth dimension and energy. Notwithstanding, I have high hopes that it will help. I know yelling won't help a thing.

4) I read Ch. 7--"Dealing with Defiance" out loud to my husband. Definitely things we programme on using there.

5)I also thought it was useful that they directed two chapters in particular to the parents. They gave overviews of dissimilar parenting styles(ie permissive, administrative, or authoritarian)--I'thou definitely authoritarian and avoidant. Yeah, I need to piece of work on that. It just gave perspective on how parents accept issues to work on as well.

I highly recommend this book for ANYONE dealing with emotions or behavior in kids that your current strategies but aren't fixing.

The best example of how I was challenged was her suggestion that "sometimes to be an constructive parent, you lot have to be willing to leave that full cart of groceries." Following through works, but whining, pleading, begging and bribing don't teach annihilation.

Love this, and will refer to information technology again and over again.

2- Time-outs are a common form of bailiwick, but this strategy backfires with a special needs child, esp. i who has been adopted or who has zipper difficulties. Isolating that child just reinforces her deeply ingrained experience that she can only rely on herself and that she is alone confronting the world.

I thought about of the advice in this volume was excellent. While geared towards foster/adopted children from hard places, a bulk of the information could be applied towards all children. Knowing the history and scientific discipline behind certain behaviors is always helpful for understanding where kids are coming from. The main issue I had with the volume is the main issue I accept with a lot of the reviews of the volume. It's okay to not have the whole parenting thing figured out. Y'all shouldn't experience shame if yo I thought most of the communication in this book was excellent. While geared towards foster/adopted children from hard places, a majority of the data could be applied towards all children.

You lot shouldn't feel shame if you lot need to exist reminded of some of the truths in this book or if y'all've never heard them. While, aye, some of the concepts are Parenting 101, nobody is a perfect parent and we all demand to be reminded of those basics every at present and then. So don't feel bad if y'all read a review that says they've heard all this before. That doesn't mean information technology won't be helpful to you and your family. And don't feel bad if you lot read this book and realize y'all struggle with a lot of the concepts. I wish the volume emphasized having grace for yourself as a parent. You're not going to always get it right. The three steps forwards and one step back illustration used in the book should be applied to parents every bit well. Use this book as a tool for some of those steps forwards and forgive yourself (and ask forgiveness from your children) when y'all accept that pace back. ...more

I've been working on this i for a few months, and my large takeaway is that parenting "kids from difficult places," to use KP's phrase, requires an enormous amount of work, practice, emotional appointment / openness, and time, at least to practice it well. I so appreciate how this book gives lots of avenues forward for relationships, emphasizes the need for balance in so many things, like in asking for respect from your child and setting appropriate limits while beingness nurturing and non-punitive. And above a I've been working on this one for a few months, and my big takeaway is that parenting "kids from hard places," to use KP's phrase, requires an enormous amount of piece of work, practice, emotional engagement / openness, and time, at to the lowest degree to do it well.

For a CASA grooming on trauma-informed advocacy, I watched footage of Purvis'due south squad's therapy camps, and it's amazing. If you want to employ some of the ideas from this volume, I'd highly recommend checking out that TCU stuff if you tin can observe it--the examples in the books are slap-up, but I feel and then thankful to have these images of Karyn Purvis downward on her knees, doing animate exercises with a child, or going through "scripts." Some of information technology sounds like it could be kind of goofy, merely seeing her doing it, and seeing kids responding to her doing information technology, shows how it can piece of work. It's pretty inspiring. I'k actually lamentable that she's gone. I as well call up that seeing her in activeness helps to frame some of the stuff she says near authority and respect, some of which sat kind of uneasily with me, but which makes sense when it comes to establishing a safe, nurturing, and consequent environment for a kid (i.e., information technology's not about the parent asserting ability just for the sake of showing who'southward boss, which is absolutism).

The book doesn't talk about cross-cultural competencies or the ways that whatever number of circumstances of a detail child might be shaped by all sorts of contingencies. The absence is peradventure a product of her focus on developmental psych and the science of attachment, simply it's also extremely of import and feels like a big thing not to address. Most makes me want to bring my rating down to four stars.

This peradventure goes without saying, but the volume is about adoption rather than foster care, and I take some questions about whether and how some of the recommendations would be different. Just scripts are astonishing. I've been using versions of "effort again" for the last few weeks, and wow!! It's been so helpful.
