[quote=Anonymous]Talk about a group that really needs help and support---older teens in foster care are the hardest population, but also the neediest. In that context, fostering isn't so much about achieving a temporary parental relationship as it is about building trust in a coaching/supportive role to teach life skills. Developmentally, teens are built to want to "separate" from their parents---even neurotypical teens in solid families usually go through those feelings. So fostering that age group is a different caretaking paradigm.[/quote]
