Sarah Dillon Working with Children Who Can't Engage November 14

Posted Oct 24, 2022

Sarah Dillon with Therapeutic Parenting and Inspire Training Join us for this online zoom event Monday, November 14, 2022 at 9:30 am - 12:00 noon (PST)

1. To help Foster/Adoptive Parents and supporting professionals to further their understanding of compliance, avoidance and fawning in children who have experienced trauma and neglect.

2. Why such children struggle to engage.

3. How these behaviours are linked to attachment difficulties and survival strategies.

4. To develop an awareness of the associated presenting behaviours and how these link to ACE’s.

5. Enable those caring for such children to recognize avoidance, compliance and befriending (fawning) as soon as a child is placed with them.

6. Explore ways to remain alert for such presentation and not confuse such behaviour with an appearance of being settled or attaching.

7. Strategies to encourage attachment and belonging using therapeutic parenting and the belong believe behave approach.

"Imagine a world where every child's hurt, every child's cry and every child's need is met by loving adults."
