Being a teenager is hard and comes with its share of challenges! Teens today must navigate social media, unchecked hormones, emotional intensity, peer relationships, time management, and high school … to name just a few. Teens in foster care have an additional set of challenges. Not only do they have complex and chronic trauma resulting from the experiences that brought them into foster care, but they’re also away from family, school, friends, and neighborhood, likely living with people they don’t know. I can only imagine how hard and scary that must be for them! This book will explore the experiences of foster and adoptive parent, Stacey Goodson, over the years. While it is written from the perspective and lens of a foster parent, the information certainly applies to anyone that has teenagers in their life in any capacity. This book is meant to be an easy and quick read, with a journaling component, as a support for anyone who has teenagers in their lives.
