The Connected Child: Bring Hope and Healing to Your Adoptive Family by David R. Cross, Karyn B. Purvis, Wendy Lyons Sunshine

4.0

One of my biggest frustrations with this book and most trauma based books is the emphasis on how behaviors that stem from a lack of eye to eye nurturing contact from birth, but as a mother of an adoptive child who DID receive this, I am still wondering what gives. I do understand that MANY adoptive kiddos did not receive this, so I’m not suggesting eliminating it, but rather, also addressing potential underlying causes for those who did.
