Parenting the Atypical Child: A Guide for Foster and Adoptive Families

Parenting the Atypical Child: a guide for foster and adoptive families

For parents who've tried everything and nothing works. This event is designed to offer support and guidance to foster and adoptive families that are either at their breaking point or navigating the unique challenges of parenting atypical children. Join us at Providence Church (Castle Shannon)for a 2 day workshop filled with insightful discussions, practical tips, and valuable resources. Finally find hope when nothing else has helped. Learn from an expert and a parent who has lived through it. We're not here to offer more theory. We're here to simplify your struggle. Childcare available with reservation.

Info: Day One focuses on the reasoning and science behind the behaviors seen in the atypical child. Developmental trauma can rewire the brain and behaviors can quickly escalate without the proper tools and knowledge. At the end of day one you will understand why the child in your life behaves the way they do and you will leave feeling like you can now make sense of behaviors. This will help you build some empathy for what your child is going through so that you can help them heal.

Info: Now that you understand the WHY of behavior, day two will focus on how you, as the grown up in the child's life, cannot only respond but you can help them heal. When you leave this session you will have the confidence to keep your cool and have tools to build momentum and peace in your environment.
