Synopsis

When parents decide to foster, they are faced with many difficult decisions, dilemmas and questions. How do you navigate the daily struggles of foster parenting? How can you nurture bonds with your foster child who is angry, sad, and defiant? How can you prepare to step back when it's time to let go? Foster Parenting Step-by-Step is a concise realistic how-to guide to fostering that summarizes what to expect as a foster parent, gives hope and immediate hands-on solutions to real life issues. It guides you through the different stages of a fostering relationship, including common issues encountered at each age and how to tackle them. It provides guidance on understanding the impact of trauma on your child and their severe behaviours, and offers tips and strategies on how to offer the best support and develop the parent-child bond. This is a book that strives to empower fostering parents with the skills and knowledge to be more successful in their parenting and to give the children they care for the best possible opportunities in life. This book will be invaluable not just to foster parents but anyone working in the area of foster care.
