Adoption Hacks - 64. The Connected Parent with Lisa Qualls
play

11/10/20 • 31 min

Mom of 12 through birth and adoption, Lisa Qualls, and late child-development expert Dr. Karyn Purvis provide practical advice and powerful tools to encourage secure attachment for adoptive and foster families in The Connected Parent: Real-Life Strategies for Building Trust and Attachment. The final written work of bestselling author Dr. Purvis, The Connected Parent includes insights from her decades of renowned clinical research devoted help children coming from hard places. Qualls, co-host of The Adoption Connection Podcast, demonstrates how readers can successfully implement these strategies taught by Dr. Purvis in their homes, just as she did in hers. After 22 years of marriage and seven children by birth, the Qualls took the first step towards adoption. Several years later, after adopting four kids, they reached a point of tremendous discouragement and exhaustion. “We read books, received training, and learned that it would take time for our adopted children to trust us, accept us, attach to us, and begin healing,” said Qualls. “But we were experiencing extreme challenges. One of our kids was so wounded that her suffering was impacting all of us. It was a dark and dreadful place to be. We felt shame over our apparently insufficient parenting skills and our inability to bring healing to our child.” Email Us: [email protected] FB/IG @adoptionhacks --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/adoptionhacks/support

Co-hosts Kandace and Callie have recorded the podcast they wish they had in the early days of adoption! The goals of attachment are to create a connection, build trust and let the child know they are safe, understood and their needs are being met.

We go through many different ways to ease in connection and attachment through Eye Contact, Physical Touch, Closeness, Language, Food, Smells and Sleep.We want this episode to give you hope that attachment is a journey with ebbs and flows and provide you with very very practical ways that we found helpful.

Part 2 will be out tomorrow!!

Embo Tshimanga grew up in and out of foster care, going in at age 7 and leaving upon graduation at 17. Her life was riddled with inconsistencies and she lived in fear of what would happen next. She attended over 25 schools and lived in over 25 homes including homeless shelters, group homes and in cars.
But thankfully the circle of people around her told her the truth of who she was and not just the truth her circumstances told her. That she is worth everything, not worthless. That she has a place in this world, not disposable. That she is deeply loved and worthy of love, not unlovable.
Today she is in college, and has the opportunity to speak life into children in foster care in the DFW area through DFW Angels.
