Parenting Your Internationally Adopted Child

  • Cogen, Patty, M.A., Ed.D.

“Your internationally adopted child has different needs. So demonstrates Patty Cogen, who for the past decade has studied the adjustment and development of internationally adopted children and advised their often-mystified adoptive parents. In “Parenting Your Internationally Adopted Child,” Dr. Cogen explains how and why to: 1. Help a child cope with grief over the loss of everything and everyone familiar, 2. Tell the child’s adoption story from the child’s rather than the parents’ point of view, 3. Understand the ways in which a child’s development may begin at adoption, 4. Handle sleeptime, mealtime, and discipline problems, 5. Foster identity and independence in pre-teens and teens, and much more. With advice on language and school difficulties and the development of self-control and independence, Cogen guides adoptive parents from preparations for a child’s arrival all the way through the teen years.”
