Children who have experienced parental loss, neglect, and/or abuse often bring extreme emotional pain, unremitting neediness, and dysfunctional behaviors to their foster and adoptive families. These children need therapeutic parenting to help them change their way of being in the world. This workshop will review the goals of discipline and offer a technique to help parents and professionals design effective disciplinary responses.
