WOW – great stats Joel — what an amazing and exciting year it was for you. Congrats on making it to one year and I look forward to many more. I realized that I’m one of the 37 people who have sent you a book to review! Sorry to have added to your pile in that department but it certainly sounds like quite a collection of reading material you have amassed.

All the best to you in 2021 and beyond!

In reply to Joel. I do also recommend the Connected Child, but assuming you find it useful I still would recommend the Connected Parent, as it is the more practical "rubber meets the road" book. In fact, even as a FIRE enthusiast with a 60% savings rate, we have purchased copies of this for ourselves and my parents as well as recommending it to others.

I’m drinking as I’m reading this- must be by peer pressure or something?

Can’t believe it’s been a year already. Congrats on the foster stuff. It’s so hard, but can be so amazing when it works. Hopefully you have a good case worker.

I hope Cooper has a full recovery soon.

I only decided to finally comment to get your numbers up, and give you more work to do. Ha!

In reply to John-Paul. Thank you so much. They didn't have it at my library, but they do have The Connected *Child*, which is also written by Karyn Purvis. I just placed a hold at the library and will check it out soon! Making bonds and attachment was my biggest takeaway from our resource parent training sessions. Thank you for the recommendation, we need all the help we can get :) Sincerely appreciate it.
