Attachment tips - Deborah Gray

With all the talk about attachment lately, I thought I'd share this article I came across by Deborah Gray.

Hope it's helpful.

Radio interview with Deborah Gray

You might also want to check out a great interview that Dawn Davenport did with Deborah Gray on the Creating a Family radio show. You can access the show archives at

Creating A Family: ~

look for the radio show--Dec 17, 2008 Attachment Issues when adopting a child over the age of two

The show focused on the special challenges of adopting a preschool aged child and what parents can do to help their child attach and bond.

Great overview, thanks for posting. I always liked her work, and her Attaching in Adoption was one of my favorite books in preparing to adopt.
