Adoption Parenting Playbook
Hosted by Maxine Linda Golden · kids · EN
About this Podcast:
A show for foster and adoptive parents who are tired of parenting advice that doesn't account for trauma. Each episode breaks down what's really happening in your child's nervous system when behavior gets hard, and gives you concrete, usable tools for the moment you're actually in, not just theory for later. Hosted by Maxine Golden, Clinical Director of Center for Parent Coaching, Brainspotting & Therapy, with over twenty-five years working with foster, adoptive, and court-involved families. Drawing on Polyvagal Theory, Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), attachment science, and somatic approaches, Maxine translates clinical concepts into language parents can use at the kitchen table, in the car, or in the middle of a meltdown. Expect honest conversations about the parts of this journey no one prepares you for: the honeymoon phase that isn't what it looks like, the grief your child carries into a loving home, the moments you feel like you're failing when you're a
