Children who have experienced foster care, or other kinds of difficult life experiences, may have a hard time adjusting - or may have mental or behavioral challenges that have never been diagnosed. Cathy Newbury, Foster Parent Licensing Coach and seasoned foster parent, chats with Dr. Heather Risser from our partner Northwestern University Family Care Parenting Lab about what children in foster care experience and how to understand what they need.
