Empowered To Connect Resource For Families

Great new resource for families!

Many of you have been helped by Dr. Karyn Purvis' book, The Connected Child. Perhaps you were able to attend one of her conferences that Caroline's Promise helped to bring to the Triad. We are excited about her latest resource, "Created to Connect: A Christian's Guide to The Connected Child." Dr. Purvis and Michael & Amy Monroe developed this study guide to help illuminate the biblical principles that serve as the foundation for the philosophy and interventions detailed in The Connected Child. You can download a pdf file of the entire study guide or a chapter by chapter version.

We highly recommend this resource as well as their blog and online resource library: http://empoweredtoconnect.org/blog/
You'll find great articles on topics such as adoption preparation, adhd, brain chemistry and discipline.

An example of one of the resources is a link to a webinar where Dr. Purvis addressed important questions and issues such as: who is a child from hard places; how to encourage the development of trust and secure attachment; effective ways to correct behavior; how to handle transitions; and many more. http://empoweredtoconnect.org/parenting-children-from-haiti-and-other-hard-places/

We hope you'll find these resources helpful and share them with your friends!

Where are they now? Sthefany

Hello, my name is Sthefany.   I am 16 years old and am currently in the 4th year of high school in Biological Sciences.  First of all I want to thank the Groves Family who sponsored me during my primary school period because thanks to them I was able to complete primary school.  I am also very grateful because although I did not meet my sponsors, I appreciated them very much for the support and help they contributed in my life.   It was a great blessing that Caroline's Promise can contribute great things in the life of a person.  The experience I had was totally great. I got to know places thanks to them and they also showed me their love through letters (letters that I still have), gifts and financial aid. I would really like to meet and know how my sponsors are and meet them in person and thank them personally.   And well, I think that these kinds of experiences make you grow as a person in all aspects and how wonderful that those kinds of people exist, s...

Where are they now? Cesy Samayoa

  Cesy, translating for Kaitlyn Our friend Cesy was too old to be in our child sponsorship program when we met her, but she definitely benefited from the program because two of her siblings were sponsored consistently.  And we benefited from knowing Cesy!  For years she would translate for our special programs.  I remember speaking to a group of moms years ago and Cesy translated for me.  She stayed for hours after the talk to help me minister to women.  One of those women had concerns about her son who clearly showed signs of ADHD.  Cesy helped me find natural ways to address his inattention and lack of focus and a year later that same Mom shared how Cesy's suggestions had helped! Cesy, we know how hard you have worked and we are incredibly proud of you!  Thank you for being a beautiful example to young women everywhere!
