ダウンロード We Match on the Inside: : A book to help your child answer questions about adoption 本

Anya and her parents do not match on the outside and her friends are beginning to notice. While she understands the story of her adoption, it is challenging for her to answer her friends' questions. With her parents' help, Anya learns to use creative strategies to navigate questions like, "That's your MOM?", "Who are your REAL parents?", "Why don't your parents look like you?" and "What is adoption?". Written by a teacher and adoptive parent along with her daughter, this heartfelt story is accompanied by realistic, comedic and colorful images to keep young listeners engaged. The "Discussion Guide" is an excellent resource for teachers as they introduce the concept of diversity in family systems. It is also a useful tool for adoptive parents as they support their children in developing a healthy personal narrative and teach their children how and when to share their personal stories. The "Advice for Adoptive Parents" section, provides additional guidance on how to support adopted children in a sensitive and developmentally appropriate way.
