110. Replay- Navigating the Holiday Season as Foster and Adoptive Families

We’re bringing back this episode because it’s the perfect one to revisit as we head into Thanksgiving and Christmas. The holidays can be really special, but they can also be a lot, especially for foster and adoptive families. In this replay, we chat about why this season can feel extra sensitive for kids from hard places, how old memories and big feelings can pop up, and why all the schedule changes and family gatherings can make things harder than usual. We also share simple, practical ways to support your kids (and yourself!) through the chaos and emotions of the holidays. Whether this is your first holiday season in foster care/adoption or you’ve been doing this for a while, we hope this episode gives you some encouragement, peace, and a few helpful ideas as you head into the next few weeks. Episode Highlights:  What’s Your Favorite Christmas Carol? Navigating Relationships with Bio Parents During the Holidays  Setting Boundaries During the Holidays  Trauma & Triggers  Navigating Tough Conversations Find More on Hope Bridge: Visit Our Website  Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Facebook  Foster Our Community Instagram
