Tips for Creating Attachment - Weekend Wisdom

Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!Q. We took in my cousin’s 4-year-old last month. We thought it might be temporary, but it’s looking like it will be for a long time and maybe forever. The problem is that this little boy has gone through a lot because his mom is a drug user and never really was a parent. He is very withdrawn and doesn’t seem to want to attach or let us get close in any way. Any help would be appreciated.Resources:Attachment Help (Resource)6 Tips for Creating Attachment (Article)Parenting the Challenging Child While Maintaining Attachment (Free Course)This podcast is produced by www.CreatingaFamily.org.
