If your child automatically resorts to throwing things when they are angry or don’t get their own way, I suggest you insist they pick up the objects. I’ve fostered many children who throw things in anger, often because their parents do. Indeed it is surprising just how many otherwise responsible adults resort to hurling objects when angry or upset.

When I was asked to write a blog I instantly thought of the TV show ‘Awkward’ but then I realised it had nothing to do with fostering so idea scrapped instantly.

I personally have fallen in love with fostering, it is hands down the most rewarding thing I have ever done. Helping to change a child's life for the better and give them a positive future is something that I am incredibly proud of.

My mum is a foster carer and has been for 8 years. Over the years I have come to the realisation that as you get older it becomes harder to live with foster children. This is probably because of "stress" from school for example, and more recently having pressure of school assignments and exams. Especially doing two GCSEs while my mum is having a foster placement.

In my opinion, I think that fostering is quite important because it affects people’s lives in a good way. Some people get attached to children that walk into their front door even if they stay with them for a day or a year. You don’t find a lot of quiet, shy and low tempered kids around here so the work is harder for you but I guarantee a lot of people that start this job will love it.
