GIFT coaches Susan David and Joann DiStefano have resumed their podcast, “Essentials for Adoption-attunement Parenting.” As always, they bring a lighthearted approach for a quick look at topics relevant to adoptive parenting and provide great ideas for your parenting toolbox. Some of their latest topics include relinquishing your fairy tale expectations so you can celebrate your child’s talents and attributes; intentionality in parenting and how that relates to purposeful adoptive parenting; and becoming aware of what could be your child’s “inducing” behavior. Here is a link to previous podcasts on our website.
