First Adoption Referral Part 2. January 26, 2013. Bull; 2 Comments. Continued from Part 1.

Fostering Loving Sibling Relationships Part 2. June 9, 2014. Bull; 1 Comment. I’d like to dissect further the general principle #3 from my previous post. Supervise their interactions and address their heart issue. What does this look like on a day-to-day basis? Don’t ignore the small stuff. Or one may say, Go over there, and I would redirect her to say, Can you please go over there? I wanted to ingrain this truth in my children:.
