Routine and structure provide stability from "summary" of The Connected Child: Bring Hope and Healing to Your Adoptive Family by Wendy Sunshine,David Cross,Karyn Purvis
When children come into our lives through adoption, they often bring with them a history of instability and unpredictability. This can lead to feelings of fear, anxiety, and insecurity. As parents, it is crucial for us to provide our children with a sense of stability and security in order to help them heal and thrive. One way to do this is by establishing routines and structure in our daily lives. Routines provide predictability and consistency, which can help children feel safe and secure. When children know what to expect, they are better able to regulate their emotions and behavior. This can lead to a greater sense of stability and security in their lives. Structure is also important for providing stability. Structure helps children understand boundaries and expectations, which can help them feel more secure and confident. When children know the rules and boundaries, they are better able to navigate the world around them. This can lead to a greater sense of stability and security in their lives.- We are providing our children with a solid foundation on which to build their sense of security and stability. This can help them feel more confident, resilient, and able to cope with the challenges they may face. Ultimately, routines and structure provide the stability that children need to thrive and grow into healthy, happy adults.
