If you have adopted or are about to adopt, you may know that adopted children are different in their needs and it is different in how to parent them.
Dr. Purvis has studied children from "hard pasts" and put science behind the methods/ideas of helping children. She believes any child can be healed and has a camp for severe cased children with wonderful results. Her trainings are always phenomenal if you ever have the opportunity to hear her speak. I suggest buying her DVDs, too.

This book is a compilation of the basis of her work and is a good place to start. She has a downloadable study book to go along with it.
This is a beginning for everyone adopting, but if you are adopting an older child, read this AND Parenting the Adopted Adolescent by Dr. Gregory Keck also sold at CBD. This one gives a basic and the other goes further.

Haven't read it all yet but very insightful. We have one adopted boy from Russia and this book has helped me understand why the way he is. He's a wonderful 5 year old that didn't have hugs and kisses when he was little. I've smothered him love and he loves back.

This is the best book I have read about parenting if you really want to have tools which are biblical and consider your adoptive child's special circumstances. But, this also does well for any child! I was raised in a christian home where the rod was not spared, but I knew instinctively that this would just break my daughters spirit! I am so thankful to have come across this book which gives me easy and great tools to tackle the difficult days. Thanks!!!
