Your Hurt Child Can Heal and Grow.

When a child is adopted, he can arrive with hurts from the past pain that stunts his emotional growth, and your family s life, too. At some point your parenting dreams can shatter, and raising a hurt child becomes more like a burden than a blessing.

But don t give up. With time, patience, informed parenting, and appropriate therapy, your adopted child can heal, grow, and develop beyond what seems possible now. From insights gathered through years of working with adopted kids who have experienced early trauma, Gregory C. Keck and Regina M. Kupecky explain how to manage a hurting child with loving wisdom and resolve, and how to preserve your stability while untangling their thorny hearts.

“We hope that what we share will give you strength, courage, and commitment,” write the authors. “We hope you will tap into your own resources and creativity to become the parent you ve always wanted to be.”

If you ve adopted a child, whatever the circumstances, you ll find hope and healing on these pages for you, your family, and especially your adopted child.

Hugs and smiles and playtime: If only parenting 2- to 5-year-olds was this simple. But any parent of a toddler or preschooler knows that it also often requires dealing with whining, tantrums, “no, I won’t” and other generally naughty behavior that tests the limits of your ingenuity and patience. How can parents balance nurturing behaviors that demonstrate love and affection with the discipline all children need to learn and thrive? Common Sense Parenting of Toddlers and Preschoolers shows parents how discipline can be more about teaching than punishment and more positive than negative for both you and your child.

Included in these pages:

How to set reasonable expectations based on your child’s age, development, and abilities

How to use a parent’s version of “show and tell” to both prevent problems and correct misbehavior

How to use praise like a compass, helping your child stay on the right path

How to create plans for staying calm for you and your child

How to use consistency, consequences, and practice to help your child learn what you expect of him or her

How to celebrate special rituals and everyday routines as cherished family traditions
