The Connected Child: Bring hope and healing to your adoptive family
Thirty years of experience as a foster/adoptive parent and adoption professional have required constant search for resources that will help us understand our children’s opposition, defiance and disrespect. The title of this book “The Connected Child: Bring hope and healing to your adoptive family”, says it like it is. It can bring hope and provide a path for healing. There have been times when I, even after all my years experience with ten adopted children, have lost hope for our youngest child. The Connected Child has restored that hope.

Wow! As an adoptive mother to three lovely daughters adopted in China, I have gathered much information about Attachment from various resources over the past 9 years. This book takes all that information and puts it in ONE place! I cannot state strongly enough my opinion that this book should be read (and reread) by all adoptive parents. I have been glued to this book, and will refer back to it countless times in years to come!

My husband and I are both finding this book helpful in understanding the needs of our adopted daughter. It has also been helpful in dealing with her older bio sister. You have to get past the first part where the authors “toot their own horn”, but there are some concrete helpful parenting ideas once you get into the book.

A nice book with a good message of compassion for the damaged children who are adopted into our homes. I liked the style, but was still waiting for concrete advice when the book ended. Short and very general. “Use a light, bantering tone. ” Well, I agree, but only possible under some circumstances. I have two children adopted from very difficult backgrounds. Parents like me need a lot more than what is in this book.
