Foster Home Tour - Examples for Younger Foster Kids

In today's video, I showcase what the first day with a young child may look like. I walk through saying hello, showing them your home, navigating the first meal, and supporting at bedtime. This transition into your home can be incredibly difficult for a young child. They often don't understand what foster care is, don't understand the nuance and context of the situation, and may not be aware of any concerns related to their parents.

Every child is different, so feel free to drop in your additional ideas and tips that you have in the comments below!

Thank you Laura. Your videos are like therapy to me, and also help me better understand my experiences in the mental health system as a teen. And they help me so much to be more confident working with children. And I find your videos generally comforting, calming and reassuring. Many thanks 💚

This is such a comforting video. I wish my parents had watched your videos 40 years ago. Thanks Laura❤

My mom died suddenly when I was 9, and since my parents were divorced, my siblings and I were of course placed with my father ... and his new wife. We were intruders into the life they wanted to build for themselves and we were punished for it.

Our experience was very much the opposite of the experience you provide. Watching these is really helping me to reparent myself and understand the kindness, patience, and open-heartedness we should have been shown. It gives me a lot of peace to know there are kids that won't go through that because they have you to guide them through traumatic and difficult situations. Thank you.
