The Connected Child for Today's Parents Jameka Watkins

The Connected Child for Today's Parents: Guide to Become the Best Adoptive Parent is a book I highly recommend for anyone who parents kids with troubled backgrounds, and should be required reading for all foster and adoptive parents. This book can be used as a continual parenting resource because it discusses just about any issue that a foster or adoptive parent may encounter. In this in-depth, comprehensive book summary, I outline the variety of topics that this book covers. While The Connected Child examines behavior with a holistic approach; it discusses in detail how the trauma of your child's past has affected brain chemistry, fear response, and sensory processing abilities of your child. Although the information in the book is based on research, it is presented in easy-to-understand language.
