Foster parents not only need to know the basics of raising a child,
but also how certain parenting issues may affect a child who has been
removed from his or her home and placed in foster care.
You & Your Foster Child is a series of easy-to-use guides written
especially for foster parents to provide information and advice on 20
topics that may be encountered while caring for a foster child. Each guide is written by the University of Pittsburgh Office of Child
Development based on current parenting literature, and is reviewed by a
panel of child development experts and practitioners.
These
guides are offered free of charge to foster parents, family
organizations, agencies, professionals, and others who work with foster
children and their families.
