The Insecure Foster Home
What are some of those things that make you unhappy in your foster home? What is the worst memory you have of living in your foster home? If your favourite toy could talk, what would it say was the worst thing that’s ever happened there? What would your parents say they would most worry about if you were to continue living in this foster home? What are all those things that make you feel like you’re not safe in your foster home? What are you most worried about if you were to continue living in your foster home? Tell me about the rules in your foster home. Which ones are the hardest for you to follow? What is it about them that make it hard for you? What is the worst thing that’s ever happened when you didn’t follow a rule? If your favourite toy could talk what would it say was the worst thing? 0-------------------------------------------------------------------------10 (This foster home is unsafe for me) (I am always safe here)

What are all those things that you think need to happen that will make it easier/safer for you to continue living with your foster parents/in your foster home? If you went to sleep tonight and a strange miracle occurred and you woke up realizing that your foster home was a safe and happy place to be, what would you notice? What would you be doing in this home? What would foster mom/dad be doing? What would be different than how it is now? If I came to the home what would I notice was different about you/foster mom/dad? How would I know it was safe? How would I know you were happy? What would you be doing that is different? What do you suppose would need to happen/change for you to be safe and happy in your foster home?
