kyburgA site dedicated to attachment and bonding issues,specifically to kids adopted from China.
A very, VERY good resource to check your work - and to get confirmation you're not losing your mind. I suspect I'll be going back here often.
But also, if you suspect you were also a victim of a parenting style that left you with attachment issues (bad parenting, I'll leave to the experts to determine) - you might also see yourself here as well.
PTSD? Check.
But I kept reading about this "holding therapy" and thinking "wow, that really must be something - I'd better check it."
*facepalms*
D'OH.
Welcome to my gut reaction. What a relief. Holding is my first response to any kid acting out. *thinks*
Scratch that. Holding is what I do in any situation I feel safe doing it - when someone is in trouble. And tantruming kids?
Oh, you'd better believe it. Face to face, looking you right in the eye.
It's the right thing to do. It's what I would do anyway.
I can remember doing this when I was 20, and a summer camp counselor. I could tell you stories about how well this works.
Huh.
I guess I really could do this. Maybe. I - just won't get cocky. That, would be bad.
