Elite
Moms have been handpicked and invited to join this prestigious
group. They have a special gift with these children. I don't take
the credit! I just went on a nation-wide treasure hunt and found
them! There may be more I haven't found! Do you know of one? They
are the primary caregivers! The qualifications to be chosen are:
A
boundless heart for troubled children, their own and others
At least five years of experience parenting their own and other
peoples' severely emotionally disturbed children
A high success rate with the most profoundly disturbed children
A willingness to learn more about the conditions that plague these
violent youth
A willingness to share the knowledge they've gained through studying
and hands-on experience with others in need
Unending patience, endurance, commitment, and vision in the face
of extremely difficult odds.
Is well aware that parenting tools that may work with "normal
children" (ie, star charts, spanking, lectures) do not work
with emotionally disturbed children.
Dedicated to be a vital part of the healing team, working in conjunction
with an Attachment therapist and others on the team.
Must be the full time primary caregiver and either be male or
female
