Loving from a Distance Webinar: How family and friends can show love and support without hurting attachment.
This webinar was led by Whitney White, Lifeline’s International Education Counselor.
This webinar consisted of a guideline for family and friends who would like to support a family with a newly adopted child. The tendency is to shower these children with immediate love and affection, but we would like to prepare loved ones that the love needed may look very different than what they have been accustomed to. A brief overview of why these children’s needs are different was provided in addition to practical ways that grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other close family and friends could accommodate those needs. Vivid descriptions and examples were given as well as a list of do’s and don’ts to appropriately support these families.
Please feel free to invite your grandparents, friends, and family members to watch this webinar
