It has helped me in every relationship, no matter what the age of the child, friend, relative. Please check out "Beyond Consequences, Logic and Control" by Heather Forbes. You can also visit her website at www.beyondconsequences.com for a great yahoo group and daily parenting tips. And more! Check this out. YOu'll be so glad you did!ChinaCallinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248428639674480306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513674865587017086.post-73299534945478377392008-11-18T15:46:00.000-06:002008-11-18T15:46:00.000-06:00I find that I've learned the most from Children's ...I find that I've learned the most from Children's books that are adoption related. You see things through the eyes of a child and it makes me more sympathetic to their needs. We check out 50 library books at a time.<BR/><BR/>p.s. Don't forget tissues... children's books are tear-jerkers.<BR/>=0) Sara/SofaPrecious Wonders and Little Monkeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093884006358538142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513674865587017086.post-75266104304320208292008-11-18T14:39:00.000-06:002008-11-18T14:39:00.000-06:00Parenting the Hurt Child is, hands down, the best ...Parenting the Hurt Child is, hands down, the best adoption book I've read. <BR/>Congratulations on moving forward with a SN child from China!!

It is an extreme case of RAD disorder, BUT has great tips in building attachment, practical suggestions!! I highly recommend it.<BR/><BR/>Also, a must have is The connected Child by Karyn Purvis.<BR/><BR/>Next, another one I/m reading is The Out of Sync Child...deals with sensory processing (not attachment)...but I feel I need to understand there may be sensory issues at first...and I want to be prepared...<BR/><BR/>I am interested to see what everyone else says!!<BR/><BR/>BTW- I did not like the '20 things' book...maybe it was just me...Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04355063343664822853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513674865587017086.post-36895787651454351472008-11-15T09:45:00.000-06:002008-11-15T09:45:00.000-06:00the best book that i bought was Adoption Parenting...the best book that i bought was Adoption Parenting, Building a Toolbox, Creating Connections. EMK Press. Lots of different topics. SN, older kids, FA, attachment, sleeping, eating. Little articles that can help you find a direction. It didn't come out till after we brought our daughter home and when I got it, I sure wished I'd had it before we brought her home. Good Luck!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Caritaiwanbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15738734451918203614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513674865587017086.post-10248107590246841232008-11-15T02:08:00.000-06:002008-11-15T02:08:00.000-06:00I think you will do great hon!
