An Amazing Healing Journey - Kelly
Parenting is the hardest job on this planet.

"Heather T. Forbes and B. Bryan Post address some of the most pressing
and challenging issues faced by parents of children with histories of
disrupted attachments. The authors have the ability to strip away the fog surrounding these troubled relationships exposing the reality of children's reactions and dysregulated responses to the past traumatic experiences..."

This book puts relationship before performance, which in my way of thinking,
is unconditional love. Is there anything more important than relationship?
We don't want "robot children." We want children who can feel and
connect in meaningful ways with others, beginning with their parents. In a word, this book communicates grace-based techniques.

This book is brilliant! The chapter on defiance is amazing. It hit so close to home for me and my son. It was like reading about my daily life. This book
lets parents know there is another way. We, as loving parents, are not there trying to find solutions and this lets us know that the traditional techniques
we tried really do not work. And now we can try somthing new and start
healing, instead of controlling (no parent wants to be that insensitive).

As a mother of two adopted children, one from birth and the other from a Russian orphanage, this book was a REVELATION, and the first of its kind!
I can't even number the helpful books I have read on adoption and
attachment, but this one truly understands the child from his/her perspective and life experiences. It just makes perfect sense. This book offers practical
ideas for loving our children where they hurt. I see my children differently
now, but not only them but everyone I know, including myself. This book is NOT just for attachment-challenged children, but any child with ongoing
issues, adopted or biological! The authors, however, do not stop at just
helping us with their insightful wisdom and knowledge. They invite us to
attend an
all-day seminar with them for FREE!

Powerfully healing! Dr. Post and Ms. Forbes have written a profoundly
insightful and absolutely critical book for parents and prefessionals. The
Stress Model gives us the understanding to truly provide emotional safety for children with trauma histories. By revealing the connections between the body/mind systems as it relates to trauma and stress, it challenges all of us to embrace a paradigm shift. It reveals our own fears, invites us to step into our child's internal world, and demonstrates how to respond to them with love.
This book inspires us to perceive all human beings on a deeper level and
relate to one another with a higher level of consciousness. ________________________________________________________ |
