Family Development Camp: is a one week family camp designed to help families to bond and help children with attachment disorder( RAD) and the effects of early trauma, adoption, and Bipolar disorder, ADD ADHD, ODD, ODC, PTSD, Tourette”s, and Asperger’s. With RAD so common and such a huge issue, the focus will mainly be on those children, but many have multiple diagnosis. The focus of the camp is to increase love, laughter, bonding, self-control, and child conscience development in the family.

The goal of the Camp is to teach parents of emotionally disturbed children how to help their child to be successful. Each morning the parents attend a training, encouragement, support session. Then practice the new skills with staff support to fine-tune the interventions throughout the day.

The lessons are:

  • Taking care of yourself
  • Understanding the brain and how to heal it
  • Establishing respect
  • Understanding conscience development and how to advance it
  • Creating and maintaining the heart to heart connection
  • Helping a child develop self-control
  • Setting limits and helping the child to accept the limits
  • Supercharge your expectation of responsibility
  • Expect restitution for damages
  • Winning control battles
  • Teach your child to think for him/herself
  • Guide the processing of feelings
  • Building self-worth
