Exploration and learning are vital for all children, especially those in foster care. Oftentimes, children experiencing the foster care system have had schedules disrupted by trauma or multiple moves, potentially causing them to fall behind in a variety of areas. Summer provides a fun and unstructured environment for foster children to create fun memories and catch up on their learning. Foster parents have the unique opportunity to help the child explore new things and discover new interests. Now is the perfect opportunity to invest in and explore new things together. Below are some ideas to engage your family in summer fun.
