Foster Parents
I spoke with several Foster Parents about their experience with caring for Foster children. I was surprised to here that some of the foster Parents said that this is a job and this is an at home job. I feel that Foster Parents who feel this way should not have foster children in their care. The reason why I say this is because being a foster parents means to love, respect, take care of, the children who are lef tin your care. These children are taken from their love ones and are placed with someone else. As a teacher I care for children everyday, I don't go to work and say I'm just here for the money, because every body knows that there is no money in child care. We all understand that but I care and I want to make a difference in the lives of all children.

Hi Pam, maybe some way to could encourage these foster parents to respect the caregiving of foster children is to share with them some of your professional development about working with foster children and giving them ideas and ways to express their love to the children in a way that it doesnt feel like a job to them but in a way that they can really understand their children and the impact they have on their children's lives.
