Vistelar Group: Communication strategies for foster parents

“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.
