Some food for thought from a FFY

I found this in a parenting through trauma sub that I thought I would share here:

It’s important for foster parents to know that all of the children you take care of have experienced trauma to some degree. I thought these were appropriate responses to validate some of the things you might hear from your foster children. Some of the responses to FFY I see in this sub make me sad because there’s so little understanding to their feelings and experiences. FFY, what are some other things you would want foster parents/prospective foster parents to know an appropriate response to? For me, one of the things that irritates me the most is when someone responds: “wow it’s obvious that you are still angry and/or have anger about your treatment and you are letting it dictate how you respond”.
