Cathey advises that fostering isn’t about the perfect moments. It’s about staying steady through the storms, creating safety, and showing up.
“Don’t expect lots of “I love yous” or “best mum ever”, because these come and go like the weather changing! The key thing we can do is just hold the ship steady, make sure our wee ones feel safe and know that we can repair pretty much anything. They are worth going through the storms for, and we won’t be easily scared off!”
