Understanding Attachment in Foster Care with Sarah Salisott

Sarah's Intro As a parent to a young adult who was adopted through foster care and also is the parent that goes through attachment interviews and experienced supervised visits and phone calls with a child at a residential facility, I am uniquely poised to discuss what it is like to be the observer and observee in parent/child interactions. Professionally, I'm a Certified Parent Coach® whose passion is helping families with children who have experienced trauma or struggle with attachment. I started The Foster Lane Parent Coaching in 2016. My goal: Use coaching to help others avoid some of the parenting challenges my own family faced. I've spent over 1,500 hours researching trauma, children's brain development, parenting strategies, and foster and adoptive parenting. I successfully completed the graduate-level Parent Coach Certification program through the Parent Coaching Institute®, have completed the initial training in Theraplay™, and continue to attend conferences on trauma-informed parenting. We talked about Sarah and her wife's story, and their journey to becoming parents.  Things we talked about on this episode: attachment styles, how they are formed, and how they affect us today.  ACE's Reaction vs. Response Training your brain to regain control Creating Cooperation vs. Compliance Mindset shift    Sarah's Links The FosterLane Website   @thefosterlane on all Socials Book Recommendations   The Power of Showing Up by Dr. Dan Siegel The connected child by Dr. Karyn Purvis The Connected Parent by Dr. Karyn Purvis The Explosive Child By Dr. Ross Greene   Foster Care: An Unparalleled Journey Find All Our Links Here https://linktr.ee/fostercarenation Patreon https://patreon.com/fostercarenation Website https://fostercarenation.com Connect with us on our Facebook Page https://facebook.com/7timedad Connect on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/fostercarenation/
