International Adoption Health Program Update: Winter 2012
Happy Holidays!
We hope this update finds you happy, healthy, and enjoying the joys of your children!
During the holidays, please be aware of how regular schedules may be overlooked to fit in parties and special events. This can be difficult for children of adoption, for whom routine, structure and predictability can be vital to staying calm and well regulated.
If you find that your child is having a particularly hard time with behaviors, sleeping, or emotion management at home or at school, please consider the changes in routine, diet and nutrition that goes along with the holiday season.
A very Happy New Year to you all! We hope to see you at our Winter/Spring 2013 events.
