Question: For three months now, we’ve been fostering our 17-year-old son, with the intention of adopting. My question is regarding attachment. How can you tell if the child is setting up boundaries or testing you to see how hard you’ll pursue/run after them?

Resources:

• Creating and Cultivating Attachment (Resource page)
• Helping a Child Heal from Trauma (Resource page)
• Transitioning a Child to Your Home (Resource page)
