What is an Elite Mom?


 

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
