books?

[Snow~Pea]

Hi. My husband and I are becoming foster parents, should be licensed in the next couple of weeks. I'm nervous and excited and ready for more information. So I thought I would post to introduce myself to the group and to ask for book rec's. I was browsing this forum and found a mention of the book Beyond Consequences by Heather T. Forbes. Does anyone have any other book recommendations for someone just starting on this journey?

Hands down best book...

Honey I wrecked the kids by Alyson Schafer. :-)

Thanks Karrie, I'll check it out.

I'm not familiar with that book. How is useful for working with traumatized children?
