Synopsis

There Is Hope for Every Child, Every Parent, and Every Family

Parenting under the best of circumstances can be difficult. And raising children who have come to your home from “hard places,” who have their own set of unique needs, brings even more challenges. You may have discovered that the techniques that worked with your birth children are not working with your adopted or foster child.

Renowned child-development expert Dr. Karyn Purvis gives you practical advice and powerful tools you can use to encourage secure attachment in your family. You will benefit from Karyn’s decades of clinical research and real-world experience. Coauthor Lisa Qualls demonstrates how you can successfully implement these strategies in your home, just as she did in hers.

You will learn how to simplify your approach using scripts, nurture your child, combat chronic fear, teach respect, and develop other valuable tools to facilitate a healing connection with your child.
The Connected Parent will help you lovingly guide your children and bring renewed hope and restoration to your family.

In 2011, our family adopted a 7 year old boy who had spent his life in and out of foster care. We knew that bonding with him and meting his needs would take a lot of unconditional love and patience. We quickly learned that we also needed some different tools than parenting our older biological kids.......more

This book is a game changer. I've been an adoptive parent for 8 years now. I was lucky enough to become aware of Dr. Karyn Purvis before we began our journey. We used the very basics of what we knew of Trust-Based Relational techniques from day one with our oldest son with great success. Then came o......more
