Download or read book Families Come in Different Colors Shapes and Sizes written by Jasmine Sterling and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Families come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. We have mixed families, single-parent families, families with unmarried partners, same-sex parents, adoptive families, foster families, and families where children are raised by their grandparents or other relatives. Even though these different family types have become quite common, it's important to realize that children aren't automatically comfortable with their unique family situations. They will compare their family with others and may express concerns about being different. Foster and adoptive parents and everyone in this realm will love this book because it has especially been written with the purpose of helping you teach your child to accept and appreciate those differences rather than fear them. Children need to be reassured that differences are good and that each family is unique and special in its own way and this book fulfills that purpose in a beautifully creative way. The little story is written in poem form, making it fun and easy for everyone to read. The simplicity of verse and comfortable rhythm of the prose makes children want to hear it over and over and your child will most likely soon be able to recite the parts of it that speak to their heart.

Download or read book Fostering Mixed Race Children written by Fiona Peters and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-13 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ‘mixed race’ classification is known to be a factor of disadvantage in children’s social care and this fastest growing population is more likely than any other ethnic group to experience care admission. How does knowledge of ‘mixedness’ underpin policy and practice? How, when and why is the classification ‘mixed’ a disadvantage? Through narrative interviews with children currently in foster care, Fostering Mixed Race Children examines the impact of care processes on children’s everyday experiences. Peters shows how the ‘mixed race’ classification affects care admission, including both short and long term fostering and care leaving, and shapes the experiences of children in often adverse ways. The book moves away from the psychologising of ‘mixedness’ towards a much-needed sociological analysis of ‘mixedness’ and ‘mixing’ at the intersection of foster care processes. This book will be of interest to academics and practitioners working with families and children. Peters presents a child-centred narrative focus and offers unique insights into a complex area.
