Created To Connect: A Christian’s Guide to The Connected Child is a study guide designed to help illuminate the biblical principles that serve as the foundation for the philosophy and interventions detailed in The Connected Child.

I no longer saw an angry kid.
I saw a kid that never gets a win. He doesn’t win at school. He doesn’t win when he goes home to an empty fridge. He doesn’t win with parents who are absent. He doesn’t win because he is still so small and he gets picked on by the bigger kids. And all at once I felt that I understood him,
not for his behavior,
but for how he was feeling.

Created to Connect would be a great resource for an adoption group at church. It’s abbreviated and story-based, and would offer support and encouragement.

Created to Connect basically takes The Connected Child and adds in the gospel. In my experience, I can’t separate those. To have the “Jesus version,” which is all the same content, lends so much validity to it and makes it make more sense for me. It starts from a foundation.
