Building Bonds of Attachment: Practical, Expert Advice
All parents hope for close relationships with their children. And for children, trusting their parents and feeling secure in their family is essential. Often, adoption can pose challenges to the attachment process. Circumstances prior to adoption experiences either in utero, in an orphanage or in foster care, can create serious barriers to attachment.
Join us for a webinar discussing bonding activities that result in healthy relationships both in the short term and throughout childhood. Deborah Gray, an adoption therapist specializing in attachment, grief and trauma issues in children, will provide practical steps that move parents toward building trusting relationships and secure attachments with their child.
- Recognize behaviors that are common in adopted children who have experienced trauma
- Learn bonding activities that result in healthy relationships in the short term and throughout childhood
- Maintain relationships with children already in the home
- Learn practical steps you can use with your family right away
