I have an opportunity to talk to a group of foster care licensing workers about attachment next week, and I'm wondering what you all wish they knew? For those of you that are or have been licensed did you tell your worker about concerns? What was their response? What do you wish they would have said/done?
I feel so blessed and so very overwhelmed to be able to talk to these folks and I don't want to waste the opportunity.
If you have thoughts on this issue PLEASE share them with me! I would love to be able to go to them and give them practical suggestions on how to help foster parents who are maybe just discovering this or aren't sure what to do once they do realize what their facing.
What a great opportunity! As someone who is just starting the licensing process, I wish the FCL workers would educated foster parents of infants that RAD is a common issue. All your posts have been extremely helpful and I feel already 3 steps ahead of the game going into foster care and can't imaging taking in an infant not knowing all this useful knowledge.
