Dear Parents,
A.D., in our Adoption Support Group, sent this to me today and I ordered two on wood for the office, but I realized I could send you a copy and you could have a mini version at home to remind you of everything I have been teaching you. It is almost as though I wrote it, but I didn’t!
IN THIS HOME
WE ARE TRAUMA-INFORMED
WE CONNECT BEFORE WE CORRECT
WE STAY CURIOUS—NOT FURIOUS
WE UNDERSTAND BEHAVIOR IS
COMMUNICATION
WE BELIEVE IN CO-REGULATION
THAT KIDS REGULATE
OFF THE ADULTS IN THEIR LIVES
WE THINK CAN’T—NOT WON’T
WE EMPATHIZE WHEN SOMEONE
IS FLIPPING THEIR LID
WE BELIEVE IN
RESTORATION—NOT PUNISHMENT
WE BELIEVE THAT RELATIONSHIPS BUFFER STRESS
AND BUILD RESILIENCE
ALL OF US NEED ONE ANOTHER ALWAYS
RESILIENCE MEANS
WE SEE YOU… WE HEAR YOU…
WE ARE WITH YOU…
Love matters,
Ce

AUTISM Support Group: Monthly Strictly Social Autism Spectrum Disorder Night for Tweens (11 yrs – 16 yrs) at The Attach Place. Open to the public. NEW DAY: Every third Monday from 5:30 to 7pm. Gluten-free snacks provided. Please RSVP to Andrea@attachplace.com so we get enough snacks. This is a monthly social group for the youth; and caregivers will have an opportunity to connect, chat, and chill in a separate space. There will also be occasional fun field trips, like bowling, ice skating, roller skating, etc. A donation of $5.00 will be accepted for food and supervision if you are able, but please don’t let that be an attendance barrier because the group is FREE. ASD kids need a social life and this is a great way to make it happen.
