ATTACHMENT DISORDER/ADOPTION READING LIST

Hi!  I had a few requests for the titles of the books I  read so here goes:

When Love is Not Enough by Nancy Thomas

Can this Child be Saved? by Foster Cline

Building the Bonds of Attachment by Daniel Hughes

Parenting the Hurt Child (there is also a book by the same author called "Adopting the Hurt Child")

I liked the first 2 books I listed the best and found them to be the most helpful.   They offered many suggestions on how to deal with the abnormal behaviors that I found most irritating (wetting and lying for us but many others are also listed). 

There are a few websites also:  ATTACh.org, and more materials by Nancy Thomas at her website (nancythomasparenting.com)

I just saw a few excerpts from the book 99 Ways to Drive a Child Sane and it looked kind of fun.

Hope this is of some help! 

Have a great night!
