From Fear to Love coverby B. Bryan Post

"This should be standard equipment that comes with every adopted child! Post has successfully translated neuroscience into language that anyone can understand and apply to the very challenging tasks of parenting an adopted child." –Aletha McArthur, OCT, Founder of New Growth Family Centre, Ontario, Canada

Bryan Post speaks to parents about the challenges they face when dealing with behaviors that are often present for adopted children. He helps parents understand the impact of early life trauma and the impact of interruptions in the attachment process. In his compassion for parents and children, he offers hope and solutions for the challenges families face. Many parents of adopted children express their fear not only for their child’s present behaviors, but for what will become of them in the future. Bryan’s straightforward, clear-cut approach has created peace and healing for hundreds of families; families who once operated in fear are now experiencing love.

The Boy Who Was Raised As A Dog PDF Print E-mail

The Boy Who Was Raised As A Dog book coverBruce Perry, M.D., Ph.D.  New in Store!

A world-renowned child psychiatrist takes us inside his pioneering work with trauma victims to offer a groundbreaking new perspective on how stress and violence affect children’s brains-and how they can be helped to heal.

Children who suffer early trauma seem to have different rates of recovery, and some never recover. In this collection of stories, Dr. Perry tells of a number of children he helped. Most had difficult or even horrible childhoods, often full of misguided parenting, abandonment, or torture. Through the stories, he teaches the reader about the human brain and how it can be hurt and healed. In a number of stories, he tells of similar situations with different outcomes. He tells the story of Leon, who at the age of 16 rapes and murders two young girls. Leon was raised by a well-meaning mother who successfully raised an older sibling; the biggest difference was that when the mother (who was mentally impaired) lost her support system, she didn't understand the impact of leaving the younger boy alone, and basically abandoned the baby during the day. Another child was also left home alone in his crib by the caretaker/cousin hired by his parents, who didn't discover his neglect for over a year. This child was able to recover because he had some affection and care when his parents were home. Peter was raised in an orphanage in Russia for three years that left him infantile in some ways and developed beyond his years in others. Dr. Perry actually trained his first grade classmates to understand brain development so that they could help Peter gain the steps he was missing. The boy in the title story was raised by his grandmother his first year, but when she died, he was left with a step-grandfather who only knew how to raise dogs and treated the child like a dog, leaving him in a crate most of the time. Dr. Perry shows great understanding and respect for these children, which enabled him to comprehend their level of development and help them move forward.
