Resumen del Editor

There is hope for every child, every parent, and every family...

Parenting under the best of circumstances can be difficult. And raising children who have come to your home from “hard places,” who have their own set of unique needs, brings even more challenges. You may have discovered that the techniques that worked with your birth children are not working with your adopted or foster child.

Renowned child-development expert Dr. Karyn Purvis gives you practical advice and powerful tools you can use to encourage secure attachment in your family. You will benefit from Karyn’s decades of clinical research and real-world experience. Coauthor Lisa Qualls demonstrates how you can successfully implement these strategies in your home, just as she did in hers.

You will learn how to simplify your approach using scripts, nurture your child, combat chronic fear, teach respect, and develop other valuable tools to facilitate a healing connection with your child.

The Connected Parent will help you lovingly guide your children and bring renewed hope and restoration to your family.

If you foster/adopt, this is a MUST READ!

As a mom with two adopted children and two foster children, this book was so life-giving. Such good encouragement and reminders! It really helps to slow down, have patience, and remember that they are doing the best that they know how to do. It’s a process and this book is super helpful for the journey!

A Must Read for Foster and Adoptive Parents

This is a book I wish I would have had when my daughters were younger. It is also a book I wish my parents would have had in the years after they adopted me. Dr. Purvis and Lisa Qualls are a gifted team and their balance of brain science with practical advice makes this a valuable resource to refer to over and over again.

Such an asset to any foster parent

Dr. Karyn Purvis has done such amazing work for the foster care community. Her TBRI principles are invaluable to anyone working with or caring for foster children. This book makes those principles easily accessible and brings comfort to parents struggling to raise children from trauma. Highly recommend it to any teachers, parents or cps/casa workers involved with foster care.

Wonderful book!

This book was such an encouragement! Filled with simple strategies to help raise kids from hard places. If you need some encouragement raise kids, this is the book for you!

Practical, informative, EXTREMELY helpful

I absolutely loved this book. I loved how practical it felt and hearing real stories from Lisa Qualls. Her vulnerability in sharing her life compounded with Dr Purvis’ expertise have created something so wonderful. I highly recommend this to any adoptive parent.

Transforming

This was such a great book for helping kids from hard places and bonding. There are no guilt trips, just honest supportive tips.

Useful and informative

This is one of the most helpful parenting books for adoptive families. I highly recommend.

An holistic approach to relational health

I recommend this book to all humans because everyone has relationships. While written through the lens of parenting kids from hard places, it also describes a parenting & relational culture that prioritizes the underlying fundamental attachment needs of all people, children and adults.

This Book and TBRI are saving our family!!

We are the parents of 3 biological children, (aged 24, 22, and 15) and for the past 13 1/2 months we’ve also been the foster / soon-to-be adoptive parents of 2 baby brothers (aged 28 and 14 months) from hard places. We quickly realized that the previous parenting skills that helped us raise 3 amazing people were NOT helpful or effective in training our newest family members. We’re so grateful to Karyn Purvis and everyone that has established TBRI and contributed this book for helping to save our family and our sanity!!

A must read for all parents!

If you are a parent or educator, you will gain invaluable insights to understand and help the children you serve.
