The Connected Child
Bring Hope and Healing to Your Adoptive Family
Book • 2007
Written by Drs. Karyn Purvis and David Cross, 'The Connected Child' offers a holistic approach to parenting children with troubled backgrounds.
The book emphasizes the importance of compassion, understanding the child's history, and using Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) to address behavioral, sensory, and attachment issues.
It provides practical strategies for disarming fear responses, establishing clear parental authority, creating a sensory-rich environment, teaching social skills, supporting healthy brain chemistry, and fostering emotional bonds.
The authors stress that by seeing beyond maladaptive behaviors and understanding the child's deep-seated fears and needs, parents can help their children heal and develop meaningful connections.
