Adoption Institute
""The Connected Child" is the literary equivalent of an airline
oxygen mask and instructions: place the mask over your own face
first, then over the nose of your child. This book first assists
the parent, saying, in effect, 'Calm down, you're not the first mom
or dad in the world to face this hurdle, breathe deeply, then
follow these simple steps.' The sense of not facing these issues
alone--the relief that your child's behavior is not off the
charts--is hugely comforting. Other children have behaved this way;
other parents have responded thusly; welcome to the community of
therapeutic and joyful adoptive families."
--Melissa Fay Greene, author of "There is No Me Without You: One
Woman's Odyssey to Rescue Africa's Children"
