We wish you a merry..WAIT! while the holidays are festive
and bright for some, they aren’t for everyone. Many foster children do not have
warm and fuzzy feelings about the holidays; In fact, they can be downright depressing.
While we are hanging mistletoe, many children are just looking for a place to
hang their coats.
If you are a foster parent, be sure to address any feelings
(good bad and in-between) he or she may be feeling. There is of course a caveat
to that as well. Biological children might not understand special attention
that is given to foster children so it is important to include them in
activities and to show them just as much affection. After all, children are
children and the last thing you want is for them to harbor resentment toward
you or your foster child. Let’s make the most of this holiday season for
everyone and spread joy!
