Thread: Here I am again
Tantruming and raging seem totally normal for a young child who has just been moved to live with strangers in a very new environment. We adopted domestically (foster care) and our 3y.o. had awful tantrums for the first few months. He desperately wanted us close to him, but pushed (hit, kicked) us away at the same time. It was hard, but we had expected it to be. We were prepared to work like crazy at this relationship for many months, if not years, without seeing improvement. Now it's been just over a year and he's doing amazing! He's very sweet, affectionate, and well behaved (not perfect, but who is?).
I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Keep working at it and it will get better! It's great that you've already used therapy to work through some things; play therapy has really helped us bond as a family.
Best of luck to you! Keep us posted!
