Starting nursery is a big milestone for any child, but for children who have experienced trauma, it can bring additional challenges.
Understanding how trauma can affect a child's behaviour, emotions and relationships helps foster carers and nursery staff create environments where children feel safe, supported and ready to learn. 🌱
At Fostering People, we're committed to helping our carers understand the impact of trauma and providing the support they need to help children thrive.

Teenagers need foster carers too! 💛
There’s a common myth that teenagers in care are “too difficult” to foster, but the reality is that they need stability, support, and someone who believes in them just as much as any other child. 🌱
At Fostering People, we support foster carers to help teenagers build confidence, feel safe, and prepare for their future.
Fostering a teenager can be challenging, rewarding, and truly life-changing for both of you. 💛

Becoming a foster parent isn’t a decision you make on a whim. There are many things to consider and it’s important to include the whole household from the start. Which is why the decision can feel even more loaded when you have to think about the impact of fostering on birth children. Ensuring the wellbeing of your birth children will be a number one priority, but your other main priority is to provide your foster child with the best care possible. It may sound daunting, but when it’s done right, it’ll be worth it.
