The Art of Attachment with Trauma-Impacted Foster and Adopted Children

Foster Parent Well

Every heart has the capacity for deep connections, but what happens when a child's early experiences have tarnished their ability to bond?
Join me, Nicole T Barlow, as we navigate the tender journey of building bridges to attachment with foster children. In an exploration, we delve into the attachment cycle and how it paves the way for trust, safety, and the vital development of young minds and hearts. But it's not just about understanding the cycle; it's about rewriting the stories for children whose histories are marked by too many 'no's.
We share real-life, practical methods for affirming their worth, meeting their needs, and fostering the secure attachments they deserve, even when the starting point is a history of negative attachment.
I discuss the challenges that our own protective instincts can sometimes present, making it difficult to reach out to our children with the openness they need. So lend an ear, and together, let's learn to foster trust and understanding, ensuring that each child in our care can thrive in the warmth of connection.
