The Connected Parent

Real-Life Strategies for Building Trust and Attachment

By: Lisa Qualls, Karyn Purvis PhD

Narrated by: Lisa Qualls

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.
