In an adoption world where disruption looms all too often, this session offers a positive approach for workers and families. Learn how to make sense of (and respond to) children’s behaviors and how parents feel about those behaviors. Understanding this dynamic, as well as other key parent-child interactions which are unique to adopted children and their new families, can help turn a crisis in an adoptive family into an opportunity for true communication and strengthened commitment.

Presented by Maris Blechner, an adoptive and birth parent and a nationally known trainer and consultant on child welfare issues. Maris has a particular interest in helping older children move into permanent committed adoptive families. 2013.
