The Institute of Child Development at TCU has created a nearly two-hour
presentation available on DVD in which Dr. Karyn Purvis explains her
research-based approach with children who come from what she calls
“hard places.” This DVD offers a very helpful overview of the three principles
that serve as the foundation of Dr. Purvis’ approach to help parents better
understand how to connect with their children in order to help them heal
and reach their highest potential. In this presentation, Dr. Purvis explains how harm during the critical stages
of brain growth can cause significant disruptions in a child’s development
and behaviors, and offers strategies to overcome these challenges. This
insightful and educational presentation is designed for parents, ministry
leaders and adoption and foster care professionals alike. |
