225 Anna Maria DiDio: When Kids Don’t Have The Words. How To Understand Behavior As Communication in Adoption Trauma


Listen Later

Hey Friends~ 

You’ve heard many times that a child’s behavior IS communication.  How do you deal with that when you are trying to create a thriving family?

How does that work when you are dealing with adoption trauma, a second language and resistance to change?  

Anna Maria Didio shares her story of growth and learning that can apply to blended families of all sorts. 

Always cheering you on!
