WHAT I WISH I’D KNOWN... I wish I’d known how in utero #trauma affects a child sometimes for a lifetime. I wish I’d known how in utero alcohol/drug exposure and #FASD can mimic so many other conditions. I wish I’d known how vital #attachment and connection is for a neglected child. I wish I’d known that I could take family leave for placement of #fosterkids. I wish I’d known that #timeindiscipline is so much more effective for hurt children than time-out. I wish I’d known how (mis)behavior is how a hurt child communicates a need. What do you wish you’d known before becoming a #fosterparent? #fostercare #fostering #fosteradopt #fostercareis #fostadopt #fosterfamily #fosterlove #fostercarelove #fostercareadoption #fostercareawareness #fostermom #fostermother #fostermama #fosterkid #thisisfostercare #gettooattached #fostercareishard #fostercareisworthit #fosterparents https://www.instagram.com/p/CL-nhX0hLAU/?igshid=3khzcx89zcek
