Parenting Your Adopted Child: Tweens, Teens & Beyond (An email class) Here’s a course for you, the adoptive parent, that fits into your busy schedule.

Parenting the Adopted Child: Tweens, Teens & Beyond is a six week course involving self-reflection and response writing and focuses on teaching you how to identify and address the issues that your adopted child struggles with. Primary issues of loss, grief, and identity will be examined and explored in depth so that you can better support your adopted child in the transition from child to tween and teen.

The focus of Parenting Your Adopted Child is to help adoptive parents guide and support their teens as they sort through issues of identity during the important years when the extra layers of being adopted and racial differences add more to the complexity of becoming an adult.

By taking this class you will discover how to help your child deal with issues inherent in adoption that surface during the time of adolescence.
