Celebrating success is an incredible way to nourish and encourage a child's progress and growth. By praising everyday successes, no matter how big or small, parents unlock one of the most powerful tools to support and connect with their child in their continued development. For children, praise is a sign of progression. By taking the time to cherish achievements, you’re teaching your child about the things you’re proud of and what you’d like them to continue to do. Look for something to celebrate each day and watch the kids in your care increase both own confidence and their trust in you. #satorifoster #fosterparenting #celebratesuccess

Trauma informed approaches are already at work within medical professions and judicial systems all over the world. The heart of these approaches is a belief that students’ actions are a direct result of their experiences. The more teachers learn about trauma and it's impact on students, the better they can equip themselves for success in the classroom. Every kid deserves a great education and every teacher deserves the tools to deliver it. #traumainformed #satorifoster #breakthecycle #fosterparenting #makeadifference

Children want to succeed! Acting out is the manner in which they're expressing the fact that there are expectations they're having difficulty meeting. An important part of trauma informed parenting focuses on identifying the skills a kid is lacking and the expectations they're having difficulty meeting. This proves far more affective than trying to modify their behavior through application of rewards and punishments. At @satorifoster we provide ongoing training to all foster families so that they can confidently collaborate with the kids in their care.
