Adoption attunement
Adoption attunement refers to a caregiver’s ability to recognize and respond to an adopted child's unique emotional needs and experiences. It involves understanding the child's feelings, triggers, and behaviors rooted in their background, and providing consistent, empathetic support to help them feel secure and valued. This attuned approach fosters trust and helps the child develop healthy emotional regulation and a positive sense of identity, addressing the challenges that may stem from their prior experiences or separation from birth family.
