Foster Parent Training in Hamilton
I had an opportunity to present the workshop “Taming a Toddler” to an enthusiastic group of foster and adoptive parents in Hamilton last night. Did you know that parents of toddlers are 3 times more at risk of psychological breakdown than parents of babies or school age children. The toddler stage (age 1-4) is the time that we see the beginning of “control” development:
– bodily functions (toilet)
– impulse (demands cannot be met instantly)
– behaviour (socializing, turn taking, sharing, frustration tolerance
The learning of these controls is usually not an effortless passage and foster parents deserve so much credit for helping children in stressful situations to learn these controls.
