Attachment issues can creep into the healthiest of settings and are probably the least understood and most frustrating issues affecting foster and adoptive parents. When love and generosity are met with suspicion, lies, theft, hoarding, and aggression, even the most capable caregiver becomes confused, overwhelmed, and frustrated.

Is it typical? Is this something I should be concerned about? Why doesn't anything seem to be working? To answer these and the myriad other questions facing families dealing with attachment issues, one must first understand attachment.

Renee Genin will draw on her own experiences as a parent, foster parent, and therapist to help you better understand attachment and the implications of attachment impairments on children and their caregivers. She will then provide tools and techniques to help you effectively re-parent your child, maintain your sanity, and regain control of your household.
