In today's interview, I speak with Dr. Kris Freeark, child psychologist, family therapist and adoption educator. We chat about setting up appropriate expectations for dog families who are adopting a child.
Helping adoptive parents have realistic expectations around welcoming a new child (of whatever age) into the family, is critical to the family's success. Recognizing the adjustments involved for all family members -- human and canine -- can make all the difference between unnecessary strain and worry and an experience of trust-building and confidence. Kris helps adoptive parents build good communication with their children starting with the earliest conversations.
Kris loves to show people that openness in adoption is sometimes serious, but most of the time creative and fun. There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to building trust and connection. The unique parent-child (and -pet) combination guides what will work best for them.
