Ok, so I do agree to that to a certain extent, but when they are in the middle of trauma, such as moving to a new family, I think a little help is the compassionate thing to do. Lol on "foster parent awareness".obladi obladahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369698071576277433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021436654249413703.post-71437140238769735992009-09-17T02:42:22.686-07:002009-09-17T02:42:22.686-07:00I think maybe what we need to teach is "foste...I think maybe what we need to teach is "foster-parent danger" (and I say it who am one).... Of course I'm a rare exemplary one. Not. But I did feel (pompously) that there was a contrast evident at the trainings....literacy, for one.<br /><br />Benedryl? That is sick.<br /><br />I have the feeling the "don't help him" approach was trickle-down from bad advice SHE received. I think I've heard that sort of thing before. Someone came to the school and was giving a talk about how we "do too much" for our children. The shoe advice was precisely the sort of example she gave. I do think this is possible :(doing too much for our children) and I am probably guilty...but I think my mom was guilty too, and I am quite capable today - besides that, I feel loved.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623179886908222942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021436654249413703.post-55058312606477792802009-09-16T16:21:51.888-07:002009-09-16T16:21:51.888-07:00Essie...the therapist was completely serious!!! Oh...Essie...the therapist was completely serious!!! Oh and the bath water sharing was only for the "foster kids", their children all got their own water.<br /><br />Tricia: They werent allowed to HAVE drinking glasses at the table..they had to get up and go to the kitchen counter to get their drinks, EVERY time they wanted a drink. "they keep spilling" is what she said. Funny, we have had maybe three spilled drinks between the three of them in over a year.
