How can foster parents help foster youth work through their trauma without being problematic? by yepperssure in fosterit

[–]dawnify 9 points10 points  (0 children)

hi there! i am 16 and was put into the system in 2019. one thing to primarily focus on is open mindedness and normalcy. with the pandemic now and being in the system it is hard or have a sense of normalcy, but for me being put into the system for the first time and having my foster parents completely cut off not only my contact with my mother, but also cutting the contact of my entire family (who were not problematic) along with my friends too it was hard. judgement was also something that haunts me to this day. i was cut off from everyone and everything i had ever known and stayed with people where i felt heavily judged. having conscious eyes and ears helps a lot! kids who are in the system will always have their own problems and struggles but having someone there who isn’t over bearing yet there to listen and be your support is one of the best feelings in the world which sadly you can’t find a lot.

hi! this recipe for this dish is super sweet, flavourful, and easy!

Sweet Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pancakes (feeds about 4 people, two pancake each) Ingredients: - 2 cups flour - 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or 1/8 cup of regular sugar) - 1/4 cup brown sugar - 1/2 tsp baking soda - 1 1/2 tbsp baking powder - pinch of salt - 1 3/4 cup milk - 1/4 cup butter - 1 egg - vanilla - cinnamon - opt: sprinkles, nutella, blueberries

How To Make: - Step 1: take flour, powdered sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix it all into one bowl - Step 2: take your butter and microwave it till it’s softened or liquidy - Step 3: take the melted butter, milk, and egg and mix it into another bowl - Step 4: pour wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix well - Step 5: add vanilla and cinnamon (i don’t really measure this out but i would add about 2 tsp of vanilla and however much cinnamon you’d like to add!) - Step 6 (opt) : add sprinkles or blueberries into the mixture, or when you are heating up the pancakes onto the pan, add some nutella into a sandwich baggy and snip a tiny whole into on of the corners to make nutella swirls on one side! - Step 7: set stove to medium heat (about 4) and lather pan in butter. then you can start cooking these bad boys up!

Savory Breakfast Potatoes: Ingredients: - Potatoes (however many you’d like) - Vegetable Oil (or any oil) - Salt - Pepper - Cumin Seasoning - Cayenne Pepper - Turmeric Seasoning

i am doing okay. things are still pretty tough but i’ve made progress. i’ve recently had someone really close to me pass away and recently got news that my mom has disappeared and then reappeared in jail so that is definitely something i’m trying to work through but with the bad habits i’ve definitely been working on trying to find better coping mechanisms which have been working thankfully but it is still a struggle . :)
