Bringing Therapy Home : Helping a Child Practice New Skills in Everyday Family Life
Overview
A child learns a coping skill in therapy. But what happens when frustration arrives at breakfast, during homework, or after a family visit?
Bringing Therapy Home helps foster, kinship, and adoptive caregivers support a child's therapeutic goals during everyday family life. With practical examples and manageable routines, Sade Ackerman explores how to practice skills during calm moments, ease the transition home after appointments, protect a child's privacy, and communicate useful observations to the treatment team.
Inside, you will find guidance for:
- Turning recommendations into small, repeatable routines
- Responding when a child declines a skill or a strategy does not help
- Coordinating with therapists, schools, and other professionals
- Supporting children through visits, transitions, and uncertainty
- Recognizing progress beyond fewer difficult behaviors
A caregiver toolkit includes home practice plans, observation sheets, therapist questions, and meeting preparation pages.
Book Seven in the Fostering Through the Hard Parts series offers a compassionate reminder: you do not have to become your child's therapist. You can provide a steady home where new skills have room to grow.
This book provides general educational information and complements guidance from the child's licensed clinicians and care team.
