Building Trust: Children from foster care often come with past traumas. It’s essential to provide a safe, patient, and understanding environment to help build trust over time.

Consistency is Key: Regular routines provide a sense of security. From meal times to bedtimes, consistency can make a significant difference.

Open Communication: Encourage open dialogue. Let your child know they can always come to you with their fears, concerns, or questions.

Seek Support: Don’t hesitate to attend support groups or therapy sessions. Sharing experiences and learning from others can be invaluable.
