Today's episode is all about adoption. I work with a lot of adopted kids and they each come with their own considerations. Many social, emotional, behavioral and learning difficulties have their roots in early neurological development; the development that happens from conception through infancy. Neglect, trauma, and other adverse childhood experiences shape the way the brain develops and functions.
Today episode explores these stages through an adoption lens and also covers other considerations like attachment and family dynamics.
If you have a child you're concerned about you can learn more on my website here.
