Understanding Attachment Disorder

Leigh Ann Sickinger, an adoptive mother to two Guatemalan-born children, will present information about attachment disorder in children.

Topics at the seminar will include:
  • Understanding normal attachment and the bonding cycle
  • What causes breaks in this cycle


  • How to promote bonding and attachment with newly adopted children


  • Parenting strategies to promote attachment


  • What are signs of normal attachment


  • What are signs of attachment disorder or attachment issues in children


  • When and how to seek help if your child has attachment issues
