Reflection On Foster Care

To be loved, to be praised, to be cherished; three things that every child in the world wishes for. It is a parent's job to grant their children with these needs. However, some children are not as lucky as others and are not blessed with the caring parents that they deserve. Luckily, the foster care system is there to help. The foster care system helps provide safety and care for children whose families are unable to do so.

Foster Parent One: LaDonna reported that these techniques worked well with their children however understands that not every child will be effective the same way has hers. LaDonna reported that she understands foster children cannot be spanked or witness spanking of a biological child. Foster Parent Two: Jerry also states they now use time outs, positive reinforcement and loss of privileges and believes that this is a better technique. What modifications will you make to individualize the disciplinary methods you use on a foster child to ensure efficacy?

Each day, the safety and well-being of children across the Nation are threatened by child abuse and neglect. Intervening effectively in the lives of these children and their families are not the sole responsibility of any agency, but rather the safety and the care of the children in need. Child Protective Services (CPS) was created by law to make sure children are safe and to help families create a safe environment for their children. When investigating a report of abuse or neglect, CPS seeks active involvement from the children’s parents and other family members to help solve issues that lead to abuse or neglect. The objective of CPS is to reunify parents and children whenever possible, and if reunification is not possible, CPS will seek to

I chose this theorist because I believe in what he thinks about attachment and one primary care giver. He believed the “Childhood development depended heavily upon a child 's ability to form a strong relationship with "at least one primary caregiver". Generally speaking, this is one of the parents.” ("Attachment Theory - Developmental Psychology - Psychologist World," n.d.) This is the specific reason why I am in Head Start.

This again was a huge break- through for the care and development of children as caregivers realized that different ages and sensitive periods, have different needs. The people of the time now started to realize that the education of the child was very important, but also when they are ready for it. These stages grouped children together and, in a way, protected them because now the idea of children having to be developmentally ready for something, let it be education or work, was laying the foundation of early childhood education and

Being grateful My profound sense of gratitude is partly due to the fact that I experienced different standards of living that are considerably lower than that of mine. This allowed me to develop a new sense of appreciation for everything that I previously took for granted. The other part is my involvement in the children’s lives, and learning about their different backgrounds. Twenty-three children, each one with an exceptionally heart-wrenching story.

Effects of Child Abuse and Neglect Every child has a right to a safe childhood and a life free from violence. The experience of child abuse and neglect infringe upon that right should not be accepted in any civilised societies. The effect of abuse endangers the life of a child in different ways.

As children’s experiences and knowledge are often communicated through play, it becomes an important vehicle for them to know and accept themselves and others. One of the most common types of play therapy for children is child-based therapy, in which a therapist and a child work alone. This is often used if there is a concern about the parents or abuse in the family, but can also be done simply to make the child feel more comfortable. It can be used to treat behavioural problems, anxiety, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), autism, and the effects of abuse.

The career I chosen to be is a child psychiatrist due to the fact that I would love to help those that have been mentally disturbed and feel like they have no one to go to. This career will be a perfect fit for me because I love children and I 'm a caring loving person. I love helping those who feel misunderstood because I have family members who are mentally challenged and I feel like its my calling I can impact many lives as well as have my life impacted. Letting them know that their not alone and its hope for everyone. And its very important to let children know that they 're not alone because when you 're young you already feel slightly misunderstood.

Under the microsystem of Bronfenbrenner’s model, it states that, all relationships are “bidirectional”, where both the adults and the children, effect and influenced each other’s behaviour (Berk, 2013). Through our personal experiences with children, we agree with the above theory. Hence, we choose the topic on Mother-Baby Interaction and Child’s needs. We believe in the bonding and the positive interaction between a mother and her child, will lead to the optimum wellbeing of her child. In my opinion, having a partner that complement one another is vital in doing group assignments.

In most work situation that will be your manager or supervisor local safeguarding children board and statuary or organisation with operate with each local area to ensure the services co-operated promote the welfare of child and young person. Many children living is abusive or harmful situation or in constant state to anxiety and fear.it can be therefore be very difficult for them to talk to anyone else about. The act of a child or young person telling you or she has been abused harmed or bullied is called disclosure the detail can be distressing to hear and how to responded to a disclosure is an important part of professional practice.

Bridshett, The agency you chose to evaluate has a lot of similarities with the agency I am evaluating. I am evaluating ForKids and like Intercept Youth Services they work with kids and their families. They focus more on homeless families, but the programs they offer are very similar. Although your agency does offer other services that I think are great, like the services they have for young mothers. I think it will be a good learning experience for you evaluating an agency that works with different populations.

It is also suggested that children with the syndrome are given an advocate to help communication between child, family, school, and others (Liles & Packman, 2009). Since Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is “not only the primary cause of mental retardation in the United States, but also the most readily preventable,” then it is obvious that children with this syndrome are at risk (Liles & Packman, 2009). They would benefit from the help of social workers throughout their lives. Most of the interventions in place have focused on the prevention of FAS through awareness.

I believe the foster care system should be changed for the better of the foster child. The system as many foster kids will say is messed up, and in fact I totally agree. The child feels that if he/she spoke up about what was going on in their “home” whether it 's abuse or other reasons they will be located right back into another home where this can just possibly happen again. The last thing any of these children is abuse and more relocation. Most of these kids just strive to be happy and in a forever home that they want to live in.

boosts incredibly and their outlook on life is positive. The parents that emphasize good character and raise the children to be more than phenomenal, impact our society greatly; let alone the foster children’s lives. Those are the kind of parents we need to encourage to have open arms and embrace foster children to truly effect their lives for the best of them. It’s a tragedy that finding beneficial parents are so laborious. “More than one-half of children in foster care have ever experienced caregiver violence or caregiver incarceration and almost two-thirds have lived with someone who had an alcoholic or drug problem” (Bramlett).
