This course prepares parents with children already in the home with the knowledge and tools necessary to successfully navigate their adoption journey. The presentation provides parents with practical strategies to prepare their children and themselves for the arrival of a new family member through adoption and will address the unique dynamics and challenges that come along with this. The speaker also explores effective communication techniques to engage existing children in discussions about adoption, and provides valuable tips on age-appropriate communication, addressing fears and insecurities, and fostering harmonious sibling relationships.
