From Fear to Love

Parenting Difficult Adopted Children

By B. Bryan Post

 

 

Bryan Post announces his newest parenting book, From Fear to Love. This book provides a radical new understanding and highly effective techniques for dealing with behavioral challenges in children. It is intended for parents, foster parents, caregivers and professionals of at-risk, ADD/ADHD, RAD, ODD, adopted/foster children and children with behavioral and emotional challenges.

 

Mr. Post speaks to parents about the challenges they face when dealing with behaviors

that are often present for adopted children. He helps parents understand the impact of

early life trauma and the impact of interruptions in the attachment process. In his

compassion for parents and children he offers hope and solutions for the challenges

families face.

 

Many parents of adopted children express their fear not only for their child's present

behaviors, but for what will become of them in the future. Bryan's straightforward, clear-

cut approach has created peace and healing for hundreds of families; families who once

operated in fear, are now experiencing love.

The Undaunted Life: How to Succeed No Matter What by motivational speaker and business coach Robert C. David seeks to help readers overcome fear and seize control of their lives.

According to David, many people are feeling fearful and out of control with what they see
happening in the world today. Instead of making bold choices to achieve their dreams, he feels they react to negative circumstances and fall victim to unsatisfying jobs and uncertain futures.

David urges readers to confront and reject the excuses that are holding them back and take control by implementing his strategies for success. He offers instruction on mastering emotions in any economy, building and leveraging personal networks, eliminating financial self-sabotage and much more.

"Don't let the outside world determine your destiny," David says. "I suggest taking control now
with success strategies which aid in becoming richer, smarter, healthier and happier in spite of it all. Here is a fresh bold guide for your ultimate quest: to bravely and freely live your best life on your own terms starting right now."

Intended to entertain and inspire, the book is informed by David's background as a financial
services executive and acclaimed entertainer. In the midst of his success, David explains how he
experienced a midlife reassessment and came to better understand the key to personal and
professional satisfaction.
