Building Attachment & Giving Our Kids What They Missed

Moving a brain from protection mode to connection mode is as simple and as complicated as it sounds. The good news is, we have a template for where to begin. God's design plan for the start of life shows us the exact relational principles that we need for the start of our relationship with the new child we've just welcomed into our home, no matter the age. The tricky part comes in being creative and intentional on how to get those moments of relational goodness when it's a bigger kid standing in front of us! Join us for a conversation on building attachment through the relational gifts of proximity, eye contact, safe touch, playfulness, & consistently meeting needs. Then join us for more on this topic next week!
