FOSTER CARE | Parenting Children with Trauma | The window of Tolerance

Hi friends! I am no expert but anything I learn I want to share with you as foster parents and prospective foster parents. Parenting children who have experienced trauma is much different than parenting children who have had a healthy childhood. When I learned about this "window of tolerance" it really helped me to understand some of my previous foster children's behaviour. I hope you find this as a helpful resource for foster parents. Trauma Parenting is tough.
Thank you so much for being here, you are in the right place if you are interested in motherhood content, foster care, adoption, gospel-focused parenting/life, minimalism, intentional living. Purposeful Life.

If you are new here, then here is a bit about me. My name is Kait, I am happily married to my husband Greg and we have 3 daughters. Lilia, Marissa and Rosie who is our foster daughter.

I believe you need to live beyond yourself, but love yourself first. Sounds contradicting right? I want moms to be involved in more than just themselves and their families. To give, to love, to serve the way the Lord designed us to be. I believe self-care is important in order to help and love others well.

I adore Jesus, my husband, children, strong coffee, influencing others to create an impact and making our house a home.

This channel has a ton of foster care content because I am so passionate about making a change in the orphan crisis. I believe we all have a responsibility and ability to do our part for orphaned and vulnerable children.

Here you will also find cleaning videos, mother and baby product review videos, intentional living videos, family vlogs, mommy routine videos, day in the life videos, parenting tips/tools videos, and Christian Faith videos. I hope you are inspired, encouraged and equipped after watching this channel!

My Christian faith is the lens I filter my channel content through and I am determined to live a life and run a business that honors the Lord. For written and photo content I would love for you to check out my blog at http://www.lovemotherblog.com

I run a baby boutique http://www.anchorandpineapple.com - we sell foster care and adoption quote muslin swaddles, adorable baby outfits, moccasins, baby bibs, pacifier clips and teething toys. 100% of proceeds are donated to foster families and adoption grants.
