Fostering / Unexpected Stuff ep. 296

This is the first of a five- episode series that I am doing this week on the topic of fostering children and adoption.

Challenge Question:
Are you prepared for the unexpected? Even if you've been doing this a while, it doesn't mean that there isn't more unexpected stuff coming soon, so are you prepared for this? Are you prepared in your mind? Are you prepared in your spirit? Are you committed at the emotional level to continuing on, even when this is very difficult, and quite challenging?

In this video:
- Some of the unexpected things a social worker can't prepare for.
- You can expect that you are dealing with a traumatized individual. This is a normal expectation.
- Be mentally prepared for adjustments.
- Be committed to showing kindness, being consistent and being gracious.
