This episode is all about the fact that kids believe lies because of what has happened to them in their lives. We will briefly review the 6 lies many kids from trauma backgrounds tend to believe that we will be spending the next six weeks talking about. Then, we will discuss how to invite kids into participating in the fight, how to join them and the value of inviting others to join you. Be sure to also listen to the bonus episode, a Mindfulness Moment: The Boy Who Built A Wall Around Himself.
You were created for this: to love the children in your care. Yet, God chose you knowing He would walk alongside you in the journey.

Walking alongside biological families of the kids in your care allows you to bond, connect with, and relate to your child during the transition into foster care and decades after they are adopted. There is great value in taking advantage of the interactions you have with their families & showing the child you love them by caring about those related to them. In this episode we unpack respecting biological parents & practical ways to show your child you care about where they came from.
Knowing the children that God brought into your life biologically verses the way you get to know kids entering your home after years of lived experiences can be very different. We will discuss how to help children feel safe, what you can learn from what they say & behaviors. After you listen to this episode, be sure to follow up with the Mindfulness Moment: I See You.
