Talking About the Tough Stuff: When Details of Your Child’s Story are Unknown, Complicated or Painful —

As parents by adoption we often attempt to shield our children from information about the difficult circumstances that led to their being adopted. However, fearing the worst is often worse than knowing the worst, for both parents and children. This interactive workshop, designed for post-adoptive families, will focus on ways to share specific difficult information with children in developmentally appropriate ways, while also examining the common stumbling blocks to doing so effectively. Facilitators: Open Arms Staff

Registration is required for all events.
