Vistelar Group: Communication strategies for foster parents 5/21/2012 "It has been one of the greatest honors and challenges of my life to be a foster parent," writes Doug Lynch, a law enforcement officer and longtime foster parent. "What happens in those first critical minutes when child and foster parent meet can set the tone for the entire relationship ... You want to ease this child's anxiety but what do you say?" Building a solid ground of communication is crucial, yet it poses its own set of challenges. Lynch explains the problem -- and shares his solution -- in an article attached here. Please share it with your readers. Give me a call if you have any questions about this article, or would like to set up an interview with the author. Kathy Mangold (414) 975-9505 Vistelar Group |
