    We dealt with our daughter's problems one day at a time, one step at a time. She was severely traumatized when she came to us. She had horrible nightmares which triggered her PTSD and caused dissociative episodes in which she would wake up and run out of the house thinking someone was trying to hurt her. We had to get an alarm so we knew if she was up and trying to get out at night while dissociating.

    Therapy, love, time, emotional healing, more therapy - day by day she became the person she is today - wouldn't trade her for the world.

    My adoptive parents just handled me one step at a time, I would do meds and therapy of course, I would always keep a bag of things that the child would love to play with to keep them distracted, I would start with public school and if it wasn't enough I would put them in online school and help all day I would handle everything as it happened. One step at a time
