For parents with adopted and foster kids, the struggle is quite different from the parents of biological children. Adopted or foster children often exhibit problematic behaviour. It appears as a new challenge. This is the context of this course. Loving them is not enough: What every parent should do, is a course designed by Crystal Krueger. 

The course is ideal for parents with adopted or foster kids. Kids with past experiences of trauma may develop an adaptive behavioural pattern. The behaviour is often protective in nature and does appear provocative and intentional at times.

The ‘Loving them is not enough: What every parent should do’ course tries to explain to parents the unusual actions from their kids. Genetic engineering has come a long way. Now, we know how the brain of kids with traumatic experiences work. You, as a parent, will gain the understanding of the function of the problematic behaviours from the kids.
