Adoption and Classroom Success: Beyond The Basics
"This was the most valuable 90 minutes we have spent since beginning the adoption process!"-Adoptive Family
A discussion with Heather T. Forbes, LCSW on how to help your child succeed at school. Circumstances prior to adoption often cause adopted children to experience school, among other things, in a different framework than other kids. Orphanage care, foster care or prenatal exposure are all events that can affect behavior as a child grows.
Heather presents tips and strategies on how to help your child be more successful at school, therefore easing some of the stress at home.
- How to smooth school related transitions
- Helping teachers understand what is driving a child's negative behaviors
- How to increase your child's motivation to succeed at school
