With so many children today living in out-of-home care, and several having special problems, the need for well-trained, loving foster parents has never been greater. Boys Town’s book, Practical Tools for Foster Parents, offers the tools that new and experienced foster parents, grandparents and other relatives need to care for foster children and to actually help them get better. The book focuses on building relationships with children, teaching them skills, and empowering them by teaching self-discipline and self-control. The book helps with these common concerns:
- Building a warm, trusting relationship with a foster child who still may have a strong attachment to his or her original family.
- Working with the foster child's parents, who may be uncooperative or even hostile.
- Creating a safe environment for your foster child, you, and your family.
- Respecting your foster child's ethnic and cultural background, while teaching the child skills to help him or her succeed in the larger world.
- Learning how to handle "blow ups" and prevent and correct misbehavior while you stay calm.
- Teaching your foster child how to stay under control, solve problems, and make good decisions, even when he or she is angry or frustrated.
- Handling transitions when a foster child moves to another placement or returns home.
