Most people entering the profession of foster parenting become quickly disillusioned when they realize that parenting children is only half of their job descriptions. The other half is survival in the foster care system itself There is plenty of training available for parenting difficult children, but no one prepares foster parents for what comes along with their foster children, namely, a whole entourage known as the foster care treatment teamFoster Parents require much more than parenting skills to achieve success and longevity in today's foster care world. The goal of this book is to help foster parents improve the climates where they live and work, which in turn enables them to be available for needy children for the long run.
Foster care agencies experience huge turnovers in foster parents. That is because the majority of people entering this field have altruistic motives to help children succeed without possessing the knowledge they need to survive on the foster care treatment team.
Foster parents most begin to see themselves as equal professional member of their children's treatment teams. Living with foster children 24 hours a day, seven days a week makes the foster parents the highest level of experts about those children. The problem is that they are not recognized as experts by the other members of the team
This book will help foster parents take a more aggressive approach to educate themselves about the inner workings of the foster care system and be able to make better sense of why the other players on the team do what they do. The author's insight as an adoptive and foster parent, and also as a foster care social worker provides information to thereader from both prospective. It is a must read for all foster and adoptive parents and social workers

Pleasantly surprised!
Color: Beige, Size: 35" x 23"x 3.5"
This bed is thick, plush, soft and has both a furry plush side and a cooler canvas side. It's the perfect size for my dog's crate and he does seem to really enjoy laying on it. It's super easy to clean - washes up nicely on delicate and with a low tumble dry. I had no issues waiting for it to fluff up after being unpackaged, too. It was good to go by that evening. I was expecting, at this price point, something flimsy with loose threads. Overall, I think it's much thicker and nicer than I was expecting for the price! Thinking about grabbing another one before they disappear!

Thick and soft
Color: Grey, Size: 35" x 23"x 3.5", Color: Grey, Size: 35" x 23"x 3.5"
We and the corgis love the bed. We got the large size so that both corgis could be on it together so the large size is perfect for 2 small to medium breed dogs that like to snuggle/sleep together. The bed is surprisingly thick and soft and well made. It appears that it will be fairly easy to machine wash and dry and I suspect if the pups do not decide to demolish it like they do their stuffy toys, it will last a good long time. It is definitely a good buy for the money.

Fluffy

I purchased the 35x23” in beige. I know this is a dog bed, but I am using it as a comfy mat in my prayer room. It’s nice and soft and fits right where I needed it. Perfect for when I get on my knees to pray at the cross.
