"Even children adopted as babies often display severe and destructive behaviors. I was one of those kids."
Hi, my name is Bryan Post and I was adopted as an infant at four months of age. My parents loved me and tried to raise me as best they could but didn't know until I was an adult of the severe behaviors I was displaying behind their backs. I was an expert at lying, compulsively stealing, and even killed animals but everyone thought I was the perfect kid--good grades and a star football player.
All the while I was suffering and doing things that could have gotten me into major trouble. Deceiving my parents and teachers became a way of life for me and it gave me a rush.
Of course, no one can live their whole life without natural consequences for behaviors that severe. I was in college before I began to realize how screwed up my life was and that something needed to change.
Your child may be like me. You may be watching him destroy his life as a teen or you may be recognizing the early signs children show when they haven't attached to family members properly. Whatever the case, you are looking for answers.

I started doing research and spent a lot of time sifting through information, trying to figure out if my dream of helping traumatized and adopted children could actually be a reality.
Could kids heal from the massive heart aches they had endured at such early ages?
How could I help teens who were compulsively stealing?
How could I help toddlers who were unhappy nearly 100% of the time--crying with no hope of being consoled?
What about children who were so anxious, they pooped their pants at every transition?
And what about their parents? Committed people who wanted to love their children into healing but who had run out of answers.
Every day I saw parents whose hearts were breaking for their kids and who felt hopeless after years of therapy to no avail.
I wanted to find real, permanent solutions for these families.
I needed to figure out a way to help parents be avenues of therapy for their own children.
I wanted to give teachers and therapists the tools to support these parents on their journey and be a consistent support system for families like these.
After reading the Great Behavior Breakdown, I found the ultimate
tool for my toolbox. This book covers all the toughest behaviors and
uses language that is easy to understand. I have recommended it to
numerous families and have received positive feedback about the
ease of implementing these tools as well as how helpful it is to understand
the stress underlying the behavior. This is one of the most
helpful books I
