Traumatised children need “therapeutic re-parenting" which is a consistent and highly nurturing, designed to repair the broken bonds of early attachment and develop new, loving attachments between you and your child. Some points to remember: The early experiences in your child’s life can’t be erased, but further damage can be prevented by practising therapeutic re- parenting. Nobody “gets it right” 100% of the time. There will be times you feel you could have done better, and occasions that you feel that you failed them completely. This is normal. As long as you are genuinely doing the best you can, most of the time, your child will benefit enormously. It can be good to talk to other adopters.
