Creating Felt Safety During Times of Separation

As we continue this series of conversations about felt-safety, we recognize that one of the times that we see fear rear it's ugly head is during times of separation or times when our youth are in the care of people other than us (teachers, daycare providers, babysitters, respite providers, grandma, etc).

 

This leads foster parents to feel like they don't have a safe space to leave their kids in order to fill their own cups, and they'll likely pull away from community and caring for themselves. This leads to burnout, compassion fatigue, and good foster parents quitting. And this leads to more harm to kids.

 

In this conversation, we acknowledge why our youth struggle in the care of others and we talk through strategies that disarm fear and help set our children up for success at school, daycare, church, and other childcare situations.
