January Foster Parent Support Group

From a foster parent:

 

Hey all:
 
At the group tonight I mentioned some resources for parenting kids with attachment issues. I'm forwarding a few links:
 
I love love love Daniel Hughes! He's a psychologist in Pennsylvania who specializes in working with attachment disordered children. Here's a link to his books on amazon. "Attachment Focused Parenting" is a fabulous place to start. http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=daniel+hughes+attachment&tag=googhydr-20&index=stripbooks&hvadid=19941920185&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=s&hvrand=750247771413814576&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&ref=pd_sl_4odh09mgcd_e
 
Christine Moers blogs about adoption, parenting severely attachment disordered kids, other special needs, running a trailer park in Texas, hula hooping, practicing a vegan/flexitarian diet, breastfeeding & other fun stuff at www.welcometomybrain.net  She's very funny. She also has links to several otherblogs relating to adoption, attachment and parenting children with a history of trauma. She also has a series of YouTube videos on theraputic parenting. Try her video on "When Our Kids Get Stuck" I promise you will be hooked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU_HJY8md-0 
 
Christine Moers and Billy Kaplan, a Clinical Social Worker from Chicago who runs an attachment disorders clinic, put together a video on theraputic parenting for traumatized kids - using the model developed by Daniel Hughes. I've seen parts of it. It looks great! https://www.createspace.com/331053
