❤ Things I want you to Know - from Fostered children to their carers ❤
"Change can be scary, even when it is for the better."
For a child in foster care, getting used to a new home, new people and new routines can feel overwhelming, even when these changes are made with the child’s best interests at heart. Past experiences may make it difficult for them to trust, open up or feel safe in a new environment. They may need time, patience, understanding and reassurance from their carer to feel settled and secure. With consistent care and support, they can begin to understand that change can bring positive experiences, new opportunities and a sense of belonging, even when it feels frightening at first.
