UNDERSTANDING AND WORKING WITH YOUR FOSTER CHILD - ONE
First things first:
This guide is divided into three workbooks. First you learn about abused and neglected children. You see how to do a quick check to tell if your foster child has problems you can help with. After that, you learn how to help your foster child with stress, low self-esteem, and with learning and school problems.
In the second workbook, you learn more about abused and neglected children and their special problems. The workbook starts with a quick check to see how your parenting relationship is going with your foster child. You then learn how to help foster children get along better with other people and how to help them with their behavior problems. After that, you learn about helping foster children who are suicidal and those who are mentally ill.
In workbook three you learn to be culturally sensitive and responsive to foster children placed with you. You learn about cultural elements, cultural differences, and prejudice. You then learn about cultural ingredients and outcomes and how they can be either desirable or undesirable. Using cultural elements from several groups, you learn how to evaluate the elements. You then learn how to get to know your foster child's culture. You learn what you need to observe, what questions to ask, and what you should tell him about your culture.
