20. Learning to Cope with Dalton & Lee Grygla

Published: May 7, 2021, 11 a.m.

We invited our two oldest boys to come on our show, and they both quickly agreed to. We didn\u2019t even have to bribe them or twist their arms.

We adopted Dalton and Lee from foster care a couple months before they turned 7 & 8. They experienced a lot of abuse and neglect and were bounced around from group homes to foster homes before they landed with us- two young and inexperienced parents at the time, doing our best to love them and give them a good home.

In our chat, they open up about some of their challenges and ways they\u2019ve learned to cope. We\u2019re so proud of what they\u2019ve overcome and the good young men they\u2019ve become.

What You'll Learn from this Episode:

  • How Dalton helps boys to figure out who they are in the treatment program he works at.
  • What you can do when people are mean to you.
  • An important thing to understand about making friends.
  • What a trauma bond is.
  • Tips for understanding ADHD and focusing.
  • One of the things we really appreciate about our boys.
