How do you know if your adopted child’s behavior is normal… or rooted in trauma? This is a question I hear from adoptive moms all the time!
In this episode, I chat with Jeanette Yoffe — adoptee, therapist, author, speaker, and founder of Celia Center and Yoffe Therapy — about how to parent with connection and compassion.
We cover:
- How to spot when behaviors are trauma-related
- Simple tools and interventions to help kids process their complex stories
- The PACE model for attachment-focused parenting
- Why minimizing struggles amplifies them — and how connection diffuses them
Tune in for Part I today, and don’t miss Part II next week as we continue this essential conversation.
