Shared
Parenting: Making and Maintaining Boundaries
This
training will help to demonstrate how the shared parenting model
between biological parents and resource parents benefits
children in care. The training will help resource parents
develop an ability to establish boundaries with the parents of
children in foster care. The training will discuss the
importance of positive adult alliances to ensure the healthy
development of children. It will also explain how children react
to conflict among important adults in their lives and how this
adult conflict negatively affects children.
