· from a former street kid turned adoptive dad and foster dad
· how to parent with grace and consistency
· special information about dealing with challenging behaviors, broken trust, and trauma
Whether a child has been in a loving and supportive home from day one or has been bounced from one house to another in the foster care system, parenting them is messy. A former street kid, Peter Mutabazi knows what it feels like to grow up in a world where love, caring, and kindness are nowhere to be found. But as the adoptive father of three and a foster dad to more than forty children, he also knows what a difference it makes when a child experiences the positive influence of an attentive and loving parent.
In this honest and hopeful book, Peter shares surprising lessons he has learned during his unique parenting adventure, including how to
· parent children for who they are rather than for who you want them to be
· look beyond problem behaviors to find their root causes
· love children who do not want your love
· understand your own scars and turn them into understanding and healing for your children
No matter what your parenting journey has entailed, you will find wisdom, encouragement, and practical instruction in these hope-soaked pages.
