The Foster Carer's Handbook on Parenting Teenagers - Softcover

Reseña del editor

How can teenagers in foster care best be supported to deal with the challenges that life has thrown at them? How can their foster carers help them to find effective ways to manage their behaviour, engage with their peers, make the most out of education and find their way towards a fulfilling adult life? This handbook aims to support foster carers as they identify the unique needs of the young person in their care. It includes easy-to-understand information, advice and ideas on: the development of the teenage brain; identity, belonging and contact; keeping young people safe; promoting health and well-being; mental health issues; managing behaviour; supporting young people's education; preparation for leaving care; and support for foster carers.
