If you’ve ever had a child spin out of control over something seemingly small and insignificant, then you know what it’s like to live in the Distress Cycle.
In this installment of the Hunger for Connection, we continue to dig into the meaning of hunger, how it relates to how our children relate to the world around them, and how understanding the Distress Cycle can help us as foster and adoptive caregivers to see our children differently.
In the process, you and I will also begin to come to terms with our own tendancies to get caught in the Distress Cycle and how to avoid it.
I hope you are served by this episode. If so, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend.
