To learn more about building stronger family bonds when parenting differently-wired kids, please visit our YouTube channel.

This video about building stronger family bonds through connecting includes:

Connection is hard to build when there are attachment issues with adoption, ADHD, autism, trauma, differently wired, etc.  

Kids must be taught to have proper behavioral responses and daily living skills within a family because they won’t naturally pick up on them. Modeling is not enough with differently-wired kids.  

How to build connection: your child must first feel safe with no physical, verbal or emotional abuse. Then you can create stronger family bonds through structure, boundaries, reducing chaos, and being physically close.

Barriers: remain calm in the chaos; understand what it means to be a builder that can change generations

**************************************

Dr. Michelle Alden, of Healthy Foundations and parentingchallengingkids.com, hosts a weekly coaching Playroom for parents to help them form stronger family bonds for connecting.

This coaching group is open to anyone wanting to know how to teach proper behavioral responses in a family when kids are opposed to learning them–plus lots more. If you are interested in joining, visit https://www.parentingchallengingkids.com/playroom.html

Forming stronger family bonds through connection is possible.

At Healthy Foundations, we take overwhelmed, beat-down parents who feel disrespected or abused by their children and coach them back into the driver’s seat to confidently create a family that builds strong family bonds for years to come.

For those parenting kids with challenging behaviors, coaching is imperative if you don’t understand the crazy behaviors you see. You can learn tools to help, but unless you have someone coaching you regularly, it is difficult to come around the extreme behaviors to make long-term changes. 

If you are struggling to form a connection with your child because of safety issues, consider our 12-week online coaching program for intensive help: https://www.parentingchallengingkids.com/12-week-coaching.html

Don’t miss this opportunity to discover how coaching can help you manage challenging behaviors in your home such as lying, manipulation, oppositional behavior, and the frustration of parenting an ADHD child.
