A MUST FOR PARENTS OF INTERNATIONALLY ADOPTED CHILDREN

We have twin sons that we adopted from Bulgaria at 2 years old in '04. One has more behavioral issues than the other, and the other has more developmental delays. I had lost sympathy for my little defiant, destructive, tantrum-throwing, whining, fellow until I read this book. It helped me to understand that his issues aren't just behavioral, but neurological, in nature. It has also given us the guidance we needed to ask educated questions of his psychiatrist to get a more accurate diagnosis and plan for the future. I will recommend it to all of his teachers and behavioral specialists that will deal with him on a regular basis. Most importantly, my heart has softened once again for that little undernourished, deprived orphan that we brought home not too long ago. There's a sweet, scared boy under those bristles.

Essential for parents of international adoptions

The book gives detailed treatment of the aggressive, violent, controlling, irrational internationally adopted child. Follow the treatment exactly and your family will benefit greatly. When Dr. Federici says short term sacrifice for long term gain...he means it. He is a wonderful person that truly cares for the children.

Only Book That Makes Sense And Is 100% Safe!

We have consulted the author after all other professional interventions have failed. Dr. Federici is the ONLY ONE who actually gets it! He is also the father of 7 Internationally kids, and does a great job helping parents get through the hard time WITHOUT any type of crazy "Holding therapy" that one reviewer mentioned ( absolutely NOT true--we did safety holds for aggression approved by hospitals, and the rest was extra good parenting!). Dr. Federici gives a very organized approach that makes sense and actually works and never, and I mean never, hurts a child. So we highly recommen this book for parents who are at their wits end, and nothing else has worked. It will take dedication and committmenmt.

FROM A FAMILY WHO ADOPTED THREE RUSSIAN CHILDREN

Dr. Federici's book saved our family. We were drowning in chaos and confusion, and with 3 very troubled adopted children. His book is an extension of his practice model (proper evaluation and intensive parent training). All the other professionals we saw did not have a clue how to handle our children, so we went on our own and got the right help we needed. Nothing crazy like "holding therapy" which we tried and discontinued. This book give structure and hope when all else is or has failed.
