Understanding your Adopted Child's Needs...
20 Things Adoptive Parents Need to Succeed!
Summer time can be very busy for most families...
While vacationing with my kids I noticed a change in my daughter.
Zoe was not her happy self and was acting out quite a bit most days.
The constant coming and going was difficult for her
I had to take a step back and realize how out of sync this must have felt for her... Zoe was missing her Dad, her daily schedule and the quiet time she gets on a daily basis...
As an adoptive parent, I needed to look within my daughter and know what comforts her. What may be normal for my son is not for my daughter. Learning to take a step back and learning Zoe's normal has made a big difference in her comfort and stability.
This has allowed me to create a safe place for her and a deeper connection in our relationship and all her relationships.
Understanding our adopted children is a gift... I now have a deeper understanding on what it may feel like to have been adopted and the journey of adoption.
This has been possible through reading 2 important books...
These are both a must read! Written by: Adoptee and Adoption Coach, Sherrie Eldridge
