Why is Playful Parenting Critical to Foster/Adoptive Families?
Attachment and Relational Health
• Relationship problems with family, adults and peers.
• Problems with attachment and separation from caregivers
• Problems with boundaries
• Distrust and suspiciousness
• Social isolation
• Difficulty attuning to others and relating to other’s perspectives.
Why is Playful Parenting Critical to Foster/Adoptive Families?
Our work as parents of children with maltreatment or caregiving disruption histories is to build the connections (attachment) and skills that mitigate trauma.
