I am a big fan too (was a psych major and have counseling degrees) but became an even greater fan since seeing how my use of it has been helping my eldest. I decided to "overdo" the meeting of his basic needs (at least the ones developmentally appropriate for a 10 year old) and focus only on those and have seen him make a genuine move towards articulating needs at the next level! It has been a great tool for me!Dia por Diahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779572435008177679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082473770049635699.post-91063224177952685742010-05-13T10:59:42.458-04:002010-05-13T10:59:42.458-04:00Scooted in from Mama Drama's link!

I so agree about behavior problems being survival skills. and that is sooo hard because building a trust bond that they don't need that particular skill set anymore isn't exactly an easy thing to do. Now i have to challenge myself technologically and try and make myself follow your blog. Last time I tried to do this I wound up making my blog follow itself. Truly!

It often feels like a race against time to try and build some of the foundations we hope our children will be able to carry with them when they leave us. <br /><br />I wish you and Mama Drama could be foster parent mentors in my county! I so admire the work y'all do and the love y'all give. Thanks for being shining examples for those of us just starting out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082473770049635699.post-71928143958777815302010-05-13T10:07:29.708-04:002010-05-13T10:07:29.708-04:00Great post!

Im a psychology major (almost done with my Bachelors)who wants to work with troubled youth, so your post was right up my alley!
