Are you facing a baffling, frustrating and emotionally intense struggle with your child?  Do you question everything you're doing as a parent because your best efforts don't seem to be working to change your child's misbehavior? In this episode of our "Surviving and Thriving After Trauma" series, we tackle an increasingly important question: What do parents need to know about trauma?  Austin is joined by Kari Nietzel, a behavior analyst with over 14 years of experience working with families and children who have experienced trauma. Together, they explore how trauma impacts children, how it manifests in behavior, and how parents and caregivers can better understand and support their kids. Austin and Kari discuss: The difference between cultural perceptions and clinical definitions of trauma Trauma behavior vs. normal behavior The importance of understanding the "why" behind a child's behavior Examples of trauma responses Behavior as communication Teaching kids (and adults!) appropriate ways to express needs and emotions How to encourage parents and caregivers facing the challenge of parenting a child from trauma  Key Takeaways: Trauma is complex and manifests differently in each child. Behaviors are a form of communication that should be approached with curiosity. Parents can learn to focus on their child's needs and seek appropriate strategies to help them thrive. We know you'll be encouraged, comforted and equipped with parenting strategies through this conversation as you learn from Kari's personal and clinical experiences.  Resources: Raising Kids with Big Baffling Behaviors by Robyn Gobell The Connected Parent by Karyn Purvis and Lisa Qualls TBRI podcast Calm Parenting Podcast If you enjoy listening to With You in the Weeds we'd love to hear from you!

I dropped JB off for his first day of second grade yesterday. He's still at the age where he's super excited to go back to school. I'm currently at the age where I'm happy to drop him off. Will I miss him? Absolutely. Does he need the structure? 100%. Do I pray like crazy for him to be seen, loved, and have good friends this school year? Daily.    Going back to school always brings lots of emotions, but especially for our neurodivergent kiddos. As parents, we pray they can learn effectively, that they are seen for the incredible kids they are, and that they have friends who are kind to them (quirks and all).    Today author, podcaster, and adoptive mom Somer Colbert is joining me to talk about how to best support our neurodivergent kids. I want to assure you that even if your kids don't have neurodivergent struggles, there are kids all around us who need support and love as they (and their parents) try to best navigate their uniqueness. Somer challenges us with practical tips for establishing healthy expectations, building up our parenting toolbox, and finding ways to become a student of your child.    Would you take a minute with me today to pray for all of our kiddos who struggle socially, academically, or emotionally? Pray with me that they will be valued, loved, and have a great school year academically. Can I also encourage you to talk to your kids about how to love kids who might be different from them? It might be that one of the kindest things your family can do this school year is to notice and love the kids you encounter who are working through unique struggles.    Please listen to today's show and even share it with some friends. There's so much great information on supporting your kids, neurodivergent or not.   All things Cynthia Somer Colbert  Somer's podcast TBRI Method and Karyn Purvis

Children adopted from foster care or from abroad have often experienced abuse, neglect, or trauma. These children require a different form of parenting. In 2015, we interviewed Dr. Karyn Purvis, author of The Connected Child: Bring Hope and Healing to Your Adoptive Family, and the founder and Director of the TCU Institute of Child Development. In this episode, we cover:Why is parenting kids who have been abused or neglected different from traditional parenting?What are the 3 most important things I should do during the first 6 months home with a newly adopted child?How can we discipline our children while still remaining connected and creating attachment?How can we help a child who has tantrums whenever he hears the word “no” or is told he can't do something?How long should parents stay home (if possible) when you adopt?An adult adoptee asks: I've seen before where you say that “Adoptive parents become the biological parents through connection. We change their Biology.” I've seen adoptive parents now call themselves biological parents because of this statement. I wonder if it isn't important for adoptive parents to accept they aren't their child's biological parents? Does their lack of acceptance affect how the child adjusts and reacts?You talk a lot about being proactive with children who have experienced abuse and neglect in order to help them and to improve their behavior. Can you explain what you mean?Parenting kids adopted from foster care and internationally can be hard on the marriage, especially when one of the parents is the one getting educated on the type of parenting these kids need and the other one has not “bought into” it yet. How to help that parent get with the program.Suggestions for maintaining a strong marriage when adopting older kids?How to handle criticism (implied or direct) about your parenting style when you are trying to follow the empower-to-connect style?Practical tools for encouraging attachment.This podcast is produced by www.CreatingaFamily.org.

Lisa is a TBRI® Practitioner, co-founder of Adoption Wise, and co-author of The Connected Parent with Karyn Purvis.

Should white parents adopt children of color? Today more than 40% of adoptions are transracial, so it's a conversation we need to have. November is National Adoption Month, so we're talking about adoption, ethnicity, adoptee and birth mom voices, and more on this episode with Dr. Brittany Salmon. As an adoptive mom herself, she offers a ton of wisdom and encouragement to adoptive parents. Adoption and cross-cultural adoption can be both hard and beautiful. There are opportunities here, though, for the adoptive family who is ready to commit more than love. Thanks to our Episode Sponsors!

Enlightening and insightful, Eden Carpenter, a dynamic personality known for her work in personal development and spirituality, joins us in this episode for a profound exploration of self-discovery. Eden talks about what it took to leave nursing after only being a nurse for six weeks and how that decision propelled her very quickly to create a multi-million Dollar business in her early 20s. Now at 26, a few months ago, Eden burned down her successful business to realign into her purpose and mission again. We find out about the energetics of these incredible quantum leaps. It takes 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in your brain, unless it is done in PLAY, then it only takes 10-20 -- Dr. Karyn Purvis, Trauma Informed Child Development Expert Eden, gifted in her unique methodology, takes us on an intriguing expedition of higher consciousness, human design and the Gene Keys, revealing how these tools can unlock aspects of one's identity, previously unfamiliar. Our conversation with Eden spans across a vast range of vital topics. We discuss Rapid Resolution Therapy, its power in clearing energy, trauma, and belief systems, and its significant role in Eden's personal journey. The dialogue also delves into the essence of joy, pleasure, and the impact of collective sound and community in personal success. Eden shares her perspective on how play and creativity can boost learning and personal development, challenging the 'one right answer' approach that most educational systems advocate. We finish our conversation with Eden by touching upon the power of manifestation and how it corresponds to our present vibration. Eden enlightens us on how being open to receiving, even in the absence of immediate outcomes, can be incredibly enriching. We further probe into the strength drawn from facing our fears and doubts, and how it leads to greater freedom and creativity. This episode is an enlightening voyage into personal development, spiritual evolution, and the journey to unlocking our true selves. Eden currently has an amazing programme out called Messy.

The Main Thing: Attachment is a buzz-word in the adoption and foster care community. Recent research and conversation has brought this important theory to the forefront. If you've been walking the adoptive and foster journey for a while, chances are you've heard a lot about the four different attachment styles and why childhood experiences are important to learn. But how do you fit it into your day to day? Parenting with an attachment-based approach takes practice and dedication. It's a perspective shift. And it's life-changing. Dr. Lark Eshleman is an expert in attachment trauma and helping parents better understand this perspective shift. Whether you are new to the adoption and foster care world or a seasoned parent with an older adoptee, this episode has refreshing insight and meaningful reminders on the significance of relationship and connection.  Episode Resources: Dr. Lark has resources on her website, check it out HERE. We talk about Dr. Karyn Purvis and TBRI on this show, we're big fans. Learn more HERE. We have some attachment based books in our resource library, which you can find HERE. 2 A.M.

Aimee Snow is a Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) practitioner and founder of the non-profit “My Healing Home.” As a survivor of trauma and mother of seven children, she knows firsthand how adverse experiences can negatively impact youth and their development.  When her two internationally adopted children joined the family from traumatic backgrounds, she sought out therapeutic programs to help reinforce her family and found Dr. Karyn Purvis's book “The Connected Child.” Dr. Purvis's TBRI system worked wonders for her family, and so after becoming a TBRI practitioner, she founded ‘My Healing Home' to serve families and caregivers of at-risk children, offering parent coaching, online classes, workshops, in-home visits, and more. Aimee joins this episode of Relentlessly Resilient to share her story, the basics of TBRI, and resources to learn more about this attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention.  You can learn even more by registering for the upcoming Caregiver Community Conference on Saturday, November 18, 2023, in Riverton, Utah.

It's a problem. My child is constantly using manipulation and control to get whatever they want and I don't know how to stop it. In our most watched YouTube video in our channel's HISTORY, Dr. Karyn Purvis reminds us that this narrative is WRONG. What if your child is not a 'bad kid' who is manipulative and controlling? What if your child has endured some early trauma, stress and adversity and these strategies are survival strategies, not problematic patterns? Join Tona Ottinger, Becca McKay and host JD Wilson as we take a deep dive into Dr. Purvis' framework for how to handle manipulation and control. You'll leave with some practical philosophies and practices to transform your view of your child and help them negotiate their needs in a healthy, connected way! Also - WE HAVE SOME BIG NEWS!

How many ex foster kids are professors? How many have dedicated their lives to improving the lives of children from hard places. Dr David Cross is uniquely placed to support you the adoptive parent and this episode is a gem. The paradox of helping your kids thrive is that it starts with you thriving. Listen in with big ears as David shares succinct and clear insights into how you can make that happen.Here's some more about David and the Institute he leads from their website:Dr. David Cross is the Rees-Jones Director of the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development and a Professor in the TCU Department of Psychology. He leads the KPICD in its triple mission of research, education, and outreach to improve the lives of children from hard places. Together with the late Dr. Karyn Purvis, Dr. Cross created Trust-Based Relational Intervention®, (TBRI®) a holistic, attachment-based, trauma-informed, and evidence-based intervention for children who have experienced relational trauma. The Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development strives to help children suffering from the effects of early trauma, abuse and/or neglect. We conduct research to deepen understanding about the complex needs of these children and how to help them overcome social, behavioral, and emotional challenges. Through various outreach initiatives, we train professionals in Trust-Based Relational Intervention®, a research-based, holistic model developed by Dr. Karyn Purvis and Dr. David Cross. Please understand that we are not a service provider, and do not provide clinical services of any kind. https://www.facebook.com/child.tcuhttps://twitter.com/Child_TCUhttps://child.tcu.edu/

Dr. Karyn Purvis had a goal. A big, audacious goal. A goal so big, the staff at TCU repeatedly attempted to convince her to pare it down - and we've all benefited because she didn't.

As we continue on in our series on homeschooling through life's challenges, I am excited to introduce you to my friend, Rebecca Butcher.  Her story of motherhood, loss, homeschooling, and adoption is full of God's grace and faithfulness.  Whether or not adoption is part of your family's story, this conversation with Rebecca will encourage you as you walk through the many beautiful and challenging moments of life as a homeschool mom. About Rebecca Although she'd say that her husband's suggestion to homeschool was a shock to her, Rebecca knew deep down that one day she would teach at home when she began practicing on her little sister nearly 40 years ago.  She has been married for 20 years this summer and is the mother to 5 children…three born of her womb and two born of her heart.  After the deepest grief of losing her second child and firstborn daughter to hypoplastic left heart syndrome, Rebecca's perspective shifted and God began the gentle awakening of leading her away from a career in the world and more towards nurturing hearts at home.  With backgrounds in both vocal performance and English literature, Rebecca seeks to cultivate the same adorations in her home where someone is always playing an instrument or they can be found piled together under a cozy blanket on the sofa reading aloud. Rebecca enjoys long walks on the beach that usually require her to turn around at the end of the island, late nights at the ballpark, her treadmill and the daily therapy that it brings, and endless cups of Earl Gray on her front porch talking to Jesus.  About Julie Julie H. Ross believes that every child needs a feast of living ideas to grow intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. As a former school teacher, curriculum coordinator, and assistant director of a homeschool academy, Julie has worked with hundreds of students and parents over the past 20 years. She has also been homeschooling her own five children for over a decade. Julie developed the Charlotte Mason curriculum, A Gentle Feast, to provide parents with the tools and resources needed to provide a rich and abundant educational feast full of books, beauty, and Biblical truth. Julie lives in South Carolina. When she's not busy homeschooling, reading children's books, hiking, or writing curriculum, you can find her taking a nap.

We work under the assumption that everyone is doing their very best. We know it's easy to point fingers at the foster system, the kids, the parents. If you believe that everyone is doing their best, it allows us to communicate with empathy instead of judgment. 

Lighten up - that's the doctor's orders. Published research by Dr. Karyn Purvis shows that, typically, it takes about 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain. Which means we have to practice a thought 400 times before it becomes a belief or second-nature. BUT. When play is involved, that same synapse will develop over on 10 to 20 repetitions. So, today we're talking about lightening the f**k up while you learn to calm the f**k down. Apply for RewiredAF at kristenfinch.com/rewiredaf

Two years into the pandemic, things still feel heavy. To cope, some professionals have turned to self-medication versus meditation (or other healthy habits). For many of us marketers, our creative candles have flamed out. Instead of focusing on discussing the theme, "The Great Resignation," what if we made 2022 "The Year of PLAY?" In Episode 51, we explore the connection of PLAY to performance with my colleague, Gary Ware. You may think I'm glossing over the severity of the pandemic. I'm not. I recognize and feel the collective global trauma on a daily basis. Instead, I'm inviting you to sit in the sandbox for a bit, and try on a new perspective.  Let me offer additional context from Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk. He is the author of the seminal book, The Body Keeps the Score.  Van Der Kolk believes that we have become overly dependent on pharmacological solutions to address trauma and mental illness in Western cultures. He calls it the "brain-disease model."  The model overlooks four fundamental truths: 1) Restoring relationships and community is central to restoring well-being  2) Language gives us the power to change ourselves and others and find a shared sense of meaning;  3) We can regulate our physiology…through basic activities such as breathing, moving, and touching; and  4) We can change social conditions to create environments where we can feel safe and where we can thrive." PLAY enables all four. That was enough for me to reach out to Gary Ware. In this livestream he outlined the strategies that he uses with marketing and leadership teams to re-ignite creativity, trust, and passion. He is the president of Breakthrough Play in San Diego, CA. Tune in this episode of The Mindful Marketer now—  Re-Engage Your Marketing Team: The 2022 Playbook. Watch the replay on LinkedIn.   Some key moments include:  ✔️ The PLAY model helps us create the right environment for learning and experimentation. Ware has taught this framework at AARP, Intel, Salesforce, SAP, and Kaiser Permanente. The PLAYbook consists of these 4 qualities: #1 - Psychological safety: Create an environment where people aren't afraid of being judged. Allow yourself to say something vulnerable. This gives other permission to do the same. #2 - Listening: Leaders must always listen to understand. #3 - Adapt - Adaptability is crucial to play.  #4 - Y- "The Why" - how can you accept reality and build on it? ✔️ The PLAY model isn't a trite acronym. It is a proven way to re-ignite job satisfaction, trust, and team confidence, especially in high stakes situations. Most people think of play as "it's childish" or "it's what kids do." In reality, Ware points to proven science of how play helps engage teams. Listen to the replay on Stitcher.  ✔️PLAY helps you spend much less time repeating your messages–and hoping they stick.  Dr. Karyn Purvis conducted a study on how we learn and retain information. She found that creating a new synapse neural pathway requires about 400-420 repetitions before it sticks. However, you can shortcut that to as few as 10 repetitions if you add play. When you are playing, you are engaging all of your senses. Listen to the replay on Stitcher.  You create a sandbox for your employees to play by creating those elements. Listen to the replay on Stitcher.  ✔️ Being a PLAY-full culture starts with one step: Find the moments or rituals in your organization that could use more playfulness.  Then, set your intentions using a template from Tiny Habits author,  BJ Fogg: "Before we start our brainstorming session, I will take 5 minutes and brainstorm ideas by myself, because I know it will pry my brain to be more creative." May your holidays be PLAY-full! See you next year. Copyright 2021, Lisa Nirell.

We are sharing with you how we are learning to pursue our children's hearts - especially when they are in the middle of negative emotions such as sadness, anger, or anxiety - so that they learn how to give and receive comfort and love. How we respond to our children's negative emotions is a picture to them of how God responds to us, and God invites us to bring all of our emotions to Him. Recommended Resources Mentioned in the Episode:Adam Young Counseling: He has a free resource called The Big 6 – The 6 things every child needs from their parents – so good and helpful! Adam Young Counseling- The Big 6 - 1- Attunement2-Responsiveness3-Engagement4-Ability to Regulate Your Arousal5-Strong enough to handle your negative emotions6- Willingness to repairThe Place We Find Ourselves podcast – mostly about trauma – but there are a hand full of episodes that were super helpful to me on children's emotional needs, how our family of origin affects us, how to acknowledge and get healing from deep heart wounds. Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles that can Radically Change your Family - by Paul David Tripp.How We Love – by Milan and Kay Yerkovich – one for marriage and one for parenting – very helpful in understanding our attachment styles and how that plays out in our relationships – insightful and practical. Give Them Grace- by Elyse Fitzpatrick – on showing and teaching your children gospel grace through daily situations – so good.The Connected Child- by Karyn Purvis.Connect with us:The Coworkers Podcast websiteInstagram: thecoworkerspodcastEmail: coworkersstudy@gmail.com

For most of us Summer Break is in full swing. Kids are out of school and you might be out of patience! If that's you, rest easy, you're not alone. Today we take one of the principles discussed by Dr. Karyn Purvis in last week's episode and look at why predictability is such a big deal for our kids. Some of us have major scheduling needs - we need to know what's happening at every moment. Some of us can only handle knowing the big picture and letting the day flow freely where it will - and the same is true for our kids. Jesse Faris and Tona Ottinger join us today to talk about how and why making things predictable can breathe life and peace into our kids' lives.

We sit down and discuss our thoughts and review of The Connected Parent by Doctor Karyn Purvis and Lisa Qualls.

Parenting under the best of circumstances can be difficult. And raising children who have come to your home from “hard places,” who have their own set of unique needs, brings even more challenges. You may have discovered that the techniques that worked with your birth children are not working with your adopted or foster child. On July 7, the last written work of renowned child-development expert Dr. Karyn Purvis releases into the world. The Connected Parent: Real-Life Strategies for Building Trust and Attachment was co-authored by our own Lisa Qualls. This week she shares how the book came to be and what you can expect.

This week, Mr. Clement and Mrs. Massey chat with Emily Nienhuis, Director of One Heart Family Ministries, about Trust-Based Relational Interventions (TBRI) and how to implement this practice in our classrooms and parenting. A little over a week ago, our teachers participated in a training all about TBRI interventions. This training was created by Dr. Karyn Purvis, former Director of the TCU Institute of Child Development, to help caregivers provide effective support and treatment for at-risk children. TBRI is used in orphanages, residential treatment facilities, group homes, foster and adoptive homes, churches, and schools. In this podcast, Emily helps us understand the basics of TBRI and explains how it is helpful for all children, in all situations. The three main aspects of TBRI are connection, regulation and mindfulness. Below, you'll find further information about TBRI as well as some recommended resources if you want to continue learning more.  Videos:  https://child.tcu.edu/about-us/tbri/#sthash.F85QT4lH.dpbs    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak6z3pqNqFU Books: The Whole Brain Child- Dan Siegal  Resources: https://child.tcu.edu/about-us/research/#sthash.z0GLLCsZ.dpbs   

In this episode hear from Melissa and Lisa from the Adoption Connection. The Adoption Connection provides post adoption resources and friends who understand. You will gain confidence in your parenting and hope for your family's future.They offer hope, share wisdom, and mentor you foster and adoptive parents.In this episode there are three major take aways:1. Go Big or Go Home, but know when to go homeFoster and adoptive families typically go big or go home by accepting many, many children into their homes. It is okay to say no, or set boundaries for your family. If you have a current foster or adopted child, or if you have had one in your home in the past, you have ALREADY followed your calling. It's okay to focus on the family you have now, whatever that may look like. 2. Peer to Peer support works!It's difficult for or may not feel safe for parents to reach out to the agency for support when they fought so hard to get a child placed in their home. Real moms have a greater capacity for empathy and real life experiences that inform practical advice.3. Parents have to be helped first. All the therapeutic, trauma-informed tools in the world aren't helpful, if the parent's needs aren't met. Parents need empathy and people to advocate for them before they are given or can be open to tools and teachings.Lisa and her husband Russ are parents of twelve by birth and adoption (ages 11-31), and more through foster care. As a Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®) Practitioner, she walks alongside families with kids from “hard places.” Lisa also co-wrote the book The Connected Parent with Dr. Karyn Purvis being released this July.

The transition from traditional parenting to connected parenting presents challenges for many of us. It looks and feels different from the way we were parented and (if we already have children) the way we're already parenting. We all experience this transition differently. Today, we hear from a dad who took the plunge into this new way of parenting for the sake of his kids and found himself changed by it. If you're new to connected parenting, or you and your husband can't quite get on the same page, this interview is for you. If you're a foster or adoptive dad, you will love hearing Mark Vatsaas share his story. Mark Vatsaas is a parent coach and a moderator of the very popular Facebook group, Parenting with Connection.

This episode of the podcast begins with Dr. Cross discussing how his history influences the work that he has been doing with families and children “from hard places” for almost 40 years. This conversation explores David's philosophical orientation as informed by the work of philosopher Benedict De Spinoza. David cites that Spinoza served as close to a philosophical “North Star” as anyone could get. David sees Spinoza as an ascetic, and one aspect of his life is the “honest work” that grounds us. Doing the real work of trying to make a difference. This conversation touches upon human growth and development, trauma and trauma-informed care, Eastern and Western philosophy, attachment, culture, and politics. Our conversation deconstructs the essence of the trust-based connection that Dr. Cross and his partner in the creation of the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development, Dr. Karyn Purvis, have worked to help bring to families and kids of the world. Bio: Dr. David Cross is the Rees-Jones Director of the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development and a Professor in the TCU Department of Psychology. Dr. Cross leads the Institute in its triple mission of research, education and outreach to improve the lives of children who have experienced abuse, neglect, and/or trauma. He has authored many peer-reviewed publications about issues regarding at-risk children. Dr. Cross earned his B.S. from California State University Fresno with a major in Psychology, and then attended The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor for graduate study, beginning in 1980. He earned an M.A. in Psychology and an M.A. in Statistics. He later earned a Ph.D. in Education and Psychology. In 1985, he accepted a position as Assistant Professor in TCU's Department of Psychology. Dr. Cross, with his former colleague Dr. Karyn Purvis, co-authored “The Connected Child: Bringing Hope and Healing to Your Adoptive Family” to help adoptive parents understand the needs of children from hard places. “The Connected Child” continues to be a best-seller among adoption books. Together, Drs. Purvis and Cross created Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®), a holistic, attachment based, trauma-informed, and evidence-based intervention for children who have experienced relational trauma. Dr. Cross and his staff at the Institute regularly train professionals from around the world in TBRI®. The Institute is actively engaged in research that not only demonstrates the efficacy of TBRI® as an evidence-based intervention, but also in research about how to grow trauma-informed organizations and communities. In addition to his responsibilities at the Institute, Dr. Cross teaches many TCU courses including Case Studies in Child Development, Generalized Linear Models, and Graduate Developmental Psychology. Dr. Cross's wife, Trudy, is a retired Kindergarten teacher and a practicing Grandmother. His daughter, Jennifer, graduated from TCU in 2003, and is an environmental project manager for CB&I. His son, Nathan, is a former USMC Captain, and is now studying history at UTA. https://child.tcu.edu Learn more about this project at: www.thesacredspeaks.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesacredspeaks/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thesacredspeaks Theme music provided by: www.modernnationsmusic.com Song of the week: My 66 by Shadows of Jets https://www.facebook.com/ShadowsOfJets/
