About this product

Product Information

"An extremely useful parenting handbook... truly outstanding ... strongly recommended." --Library Journal (starred review) "A tremendous resource for parents and professionals alike." --Thomas Atwood, president and CEO, National Council for Adoption The adoption of a child is always a joyous moment in the life of a family. Some adoptions, though, present unique challenges. Welcoming these children into your family--and addressing their special needs--requires care, consideration, and compassion. Written by two research psychologists specializing in adoption and attachment, The Connected Child will help you: Build bonds of affection and trust with your adopted child Effectively deal with any learning or behavioral disorders Discipline your child with love without making him or her feel threatened "A must-read not only for adoptive parents, but for all families striving to correct and connect with their children." --Carol S. Kranowitz, author of The Out-of-Sync Child "Drs. Purvis and Cross have thrown a life preserver not only to those just entering uncharted waters, but also to those struggling to stay afloat." --Kathleen E. Morris, editor of S. I. Focus magazine "Truly an exceptional, innovative work . . . compassionate, accessible, and founded on a breadth of scientific knowledge and clinical expertise." --Susan Livingston Smith, program director,Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute " The Connected Child is the literary equivalent of an airline oxygen mask and instructions: place the mask over your own face first, then over the nose of your child. This book first assists the parent, saying, in effect, 'Calm down, you're not the first mom or dad in the world to face this hurdle, breathe deeply, then follow these simple steps.' The sense of not facing these issues alone--the relief that your child's behavior is not off the charts--is hugely comforting. Other children have behaved this way; other parents have responded thusly; welcome to the community of therapeutic and joyful adoptive families." --Melissa Fay Greene, author of There is No Me Without You: One Woman's Odyssey to Rescue Africa's Children

A MUST for parents whose children have experienced any TRAUMA
Read this book! It will save your family. Karyn Purvis and Davi Cross present the most effective way to parent children from "hard places." This book needs to be in the hands of every adoptive and foster parent, as well as any children with emotional or behavioral difficulties. It needs to be a handbook for EVERY SOCIAL WORKER OR COUNSELOR, everyone working in any mental health or social setting. Buy a bunch of these, and hand them out to anyone you know struggling with children's behaviors. Go to YouTube and watch the videos from Dr. Karyn Purvis. Why are you still reading? GO NOW! I adopted 5 teens and 2 babies, (not all at the same time) and I wish I had had this resource YEARS ago. Your kids will thank you. Your self will thank you. Read this book! It will save your family.

The Connected Child
My wife and I became parents of two special needs boys brought to us by a Texas state agency almost six years ago. Although we are both well-educated and truly chose to step into this role, parenting of at-risk children is in itself an ongoing, challenging, continuous education and learning process. My wife and I have attended seminars, classes and schools offered by agencies and groups, covering lots of different aspects of child-care. We have utilized the expertise and assistance of more than 12 different highly-respected agencies of widely-divergent specializations flung across the spectrum of viewpoints and charters. This is the second or third time I have read this book and have found it -- each time -- to be an incredibly valuable, non-technical guideline that provides a uniquely ... My wife and I became parents of two special needs boys brought to us by a Texas state agency almost six years ago. Although we are both well-educated and truly chose to step into this role, parenting of at-risk children is in itself an ongoing, challenging, continuous education and learning process. My wife and I have attended seminars, classes and schools offered by agencies and groups, covering lots of different aspects of child-care. We have utilized the expertise and assistance of more than 12 different highly-respected agencies of widely-divergent specializations flung across the spectrum of viewpoints and charters. This is the second or third time I have read this book and have found it -- each time -- to be an incredibly valuable, non-technical guideline that provides a uniquely insightful understanding of what is happening "inside the hearts and minds" of these boys. It is NOT a jargon-filled, text-book focused on the various components of child-psychology nor psychiatry, but instead a practical, understandable, versatile foundation-laying tool that truly allows us -- the parents -- to grasp the real dynamics driving these brothers' actions. Additionally, as an inner-city, public-school tutor, I have even found the information extremely helpful in dealing with the struggles of several students. One of the most helpful aspects came as rather a surprise; it does not advocate discarding the responsibility attached to poor-behavior -- something I have occasionally found among "experts" throughout the range of pediatric disciplines -- but instead explains to a parent, (or any other adult seeking insight to children from: other countries or cultures, troubled backgrounds, or simply special behavioral or emotional needs), the root causes of disturbing behavior, and how to EFFECTIVELY manage children that have been "given-up-on" -- often even by some "experts." I highly-recommend this book to any adult dealing with children with difficult backgrounds or struggles. One important footnote, I have attended several seminars taught by Dr. Purvis, and found the book an excellent addendum to the wonderfully-helpful information I am able to extract from her seminars.

The Connected Child
After hearing Karyn Purvis speak of her experiences with "at risk" children, I immediately bought the book and liked it so well that I continue to buy more to give out to all of my friends who have adopted children. My husband and I have adopted three. They were grown and out of the house when I read this book. I wish I had had this book when I had them at home! It would definitely have given me a different perspective and would have helped me to be more in tune to their special needs. It gives well-studied information and easily understood, practical ways of "connecting" with your adopted children. The book helps you as a parent to understand what might be going on in the mind of your child and what you can do to truly nurture their individual needs. Even reading this book after my ...

Even reading this book after my children were grown has helped me understand their perspective on life and brought more connection in our relationships. I have also given them copies. (By the way, I also highly recommend adopting children.) A must read for anyone at any level in the process of adoption or anyone who has brought a child into their home. A good read for any parent.

An outstanding parenting book
Though this book is specifically intended to help families bond with an adopted child, I've been applying what I've learned here with my own daughter and found it very helpful, especially when dealing with her "moods". I already read the book after borrowing it from the library but liked it so much that I bought my own copy. I got rid of all the other parenting books in my house and have kept only this one.Though this book is specifically intended to help families bond with an adopted child, I've been applying what I've learned here with my own daughter and found it very helpful, especially when dealing with her "moods".
