Better Me Better Us Episode 32 - Own It

from The Adoption and Fostering Podcast · host Al Coates & Scott Casson-Rennie

In this episode we explore the responsibility adults and professionals carry to own their behaviours, words, and actions, especially when working with children. From everyday interactions to moments of conflict and repair, we unpack why accountability is not about perfection, but integrity. We discuss how children learn more from what we model than what we say, why owning mistakes builds trust and emotional safety, and how this is especially vital in fostering and adoption, where many children have experienced broken promises and unmet accountability.  As always you can connect with us through the following - Instagram- BMBUltd Facebook – Better Me Better Us Email – [email protected]
