¢  Part II of this workshop series will take us deeper into helping parents develop techniques that they can use to respond to induced behaviors exhibited by the child they have adopted and love.  We explore more about how to appropriately separate the underlying message from the behavior.  In many parents’ opinion, there are two times when setting boundaries and dealing with discipline are the most difficult—early childhood and the teenage years. In both periods, your child will test you to see how much they can get away with, if you’ll actually enforce the rules you’ve set, and if they can break rules without you knowing.  The double blind challenge for adoptive parents is being able to approach discipline as a method of teaching, rather than punishing, the child in the throes of inducement. If you are successful your child will not fall back into feeling abandoned, threatened, or shamed and will be more open to learning and changing their ways.
