Started reading the first book and love it

So we were given homework we have to read 4 hours worth of books from a list we were given (she brought one that i decided i would read even though it will take more then 4 hours) and then after we get a placement we have to read some sort of book that goes with the child in our placement for another 4 hours we can also do an online class or watch a video I chose the book and Jon is going to attempt to read it to but he is not a big reader. So he might do the Internet class instead. The book I am reading right now is called Parenting the Hurt Child helping adoptive families heal and grow. It is really good so far and I am only on page 50. It has all kinds of stories and tells you different situations and why the child acts the way they do. I have done a lot of research on attachment disorders because most children that are in foster care have some sort of attachment disorder and this book really tells you how those attachment disorders come about and how you can help the child heal. I think this is a great book for everyone to read. People might think twice before staring at a child in public that is throwing a tantrum because if you do not know them they you do not know where they came from. They could have been a foster child or not in a good home. Or even children adopted internationally and where in an orphanage. It is so sad to think of what happened to these children that make them the way they are and it really is not their fault the way they act. It is not them just being naughty it confuses them but it is how they have learned to respond. Any ways I would recommend this book to everyone if you know someone who is doing foster to adopt, fostering, or just straight adopting or already has this book can help you to better understand the way their child might act and why and also help you so you can support the parents and the child in the right way. We will be buying a copy of this book so if any of our friends or family want to borrow it and read it just let us know! There are a few other books I'm going to read one is called Parenting with Love and Logic and I am not sure what the other one is called I will let you guys know how those are when I'm done with them. If anyone has any other ideas for books that we should read let us know!
