Foster children are among the most resilient yet vulnerable members of our society. Their experiences often include trauma, instability, and emotional wounds that shape their sense of self and their ability to navigate the world. Transitional homes, which provide temporary care and support between placements or as a bridge to independent living, are critical in their journey toward healing. These homes offer not just a roof over their heads, but the chance to rebuild trust, confidence, and a sense of belonging. However, the needs of foster children are complex and require specialized care. These children may have faced neglect, abuse, or upheaval, and as a result, their emotional and psychological healing requires patience, empathy, and understanding. The trauma they have experienced can manifest in many ways, from attachment issues to difficulties in socializing and managing emotions. Supporting foster children in these transitional spaces means addressing these deep-rooted issues while fostering a nurturing environment where they can heal and grow. This book is designed to provide guidance for those who are working with foster children in transitional homes. Whether you are a caregiver, social worker, educator, or mental health professional, you play a pivotal role in these children’s lives. It offers insights into how to create a safe, stable, and supportive environment that allows children to feel seen, heard, and valued. The key is not simply to care for these children in the traditional sense, but to understand their unique needs and meet them with compassion and dedication.Mostra libro

We need to become aware and reflect on our own inner child and heal ourselves in order to raise our next generation with love, free of our expectations and demands of society. When we do this, we break free from the chains of our own upbringing and societal programming allowing our children to become their authentic selves unapologetically, and we as parents find who we truly are among the process.”Mostra libro

Laugh-out-loud funny and a wonderful story about finding your voice. I loved it! – David Walliams ‘Anarchically silly fun!' – Guardian Sidesplitting middle grade comedy, with serious heart (and one very funny llama). Illustrated by Allen Fatimaharan, the official illustrator for World Book Day 2022. Yasmin is starting secondary school soon – and her talking toy best friend Levi is well excited about it! They’ll get to continue their Guardian Llama missions to help kids with their problems, just like how Levi helped Yasmin find her voice. Secretly though, Yasmin is worried that people will think she’s weird for carrying a toy llama around, and maybe it isn’t the best idea for Levi to come with her . . . But with a family seaside holiday promising lots of beachside thrills to distract her, Yasmin is ready to have fun with Levi and her (human) best friend Ezra. Except something’s up with Yasmin’s cousin Omar and soon, finding out what – turns out to be one of Yasmin and Levi’s toughest missions yet. Another hilarious adventure full of drama and dodgems – and along the way, Yasmin learns she’s not the only one who’s worried about being weird!
