What Every Parent Should Know: Video 7

Parenting Strategies that Connect

"If I understand the way God loves me and disciplines me, when God disciplines me, my behavior is changed. I feel more connected to Him than I did before and I feel more content because I know of His love for me." This is the goal of the parenting strategies Dr. Purvis talks about in this video.

This video is THE BEST so far! So incredibly helpful! It is packed with very practical tools to parent children from hard places. It is just the basic information for these tools, so it won't explain how to implement them in detail. That is done in The Connected Child book (and other Empowered to Connect resources).

Understanding Sensory Processing

"If (a child is) not picked up and held, cradled and touched and nurtured, the brain simply does not mature in appropriate regions."


All Three!!

ALL THREE APPROVALS HAVE BEEN FINISHED!!! Thank you, Jesus!

But, they are not yet physically present with the right people so we still need to wait for a date to transfer continents. We are thinking the beginning of November. (Sorry for the vagueness. I have to be vague, which makes me have to get creative!)

Although I feel like a turtle trying to cross the finish line here at the end, I am so relieved and thankful.

And speaking of thankful . . . Our fundraising is at $9,905. WOW! I cannot even explain the state of awe I have been in as I've been reflecting on God providing exactly what we need, just at the time we need it. He is so good and so faithful!

Thanks for being part of this journey with us.
