My name is Dave, I am married with two young children from my second marriage and three older children now all at University from my first marriage. My wife Lisa and I have been fostering now for just over 5 years and during this time we have had numerous placements and have had to deal with the challenges they all bring.

To me fostering means looking after children that can't live with their parents, grandparents etc at that specific time and giving them the love and reassurance they need to live a happy life ( which every child deserves) until they either go back and live with their family or go to another carer and their family.

I think fostering is about giving kids that did not have quite a good time at home maybe because of a crisis or mum/dad was too young.

Fostering is when we look after kids that their mums and dads are ill and can't look after them.

So what constitutes behavioural difficulties or a child out of control, and does it apply to your child?

Much is made of the amazing qualities foster carers have; and rightly so. To open your home and your heart to a child in need takes patience, perseverance and a great deal of empathy, to name but a few qualities. But it's all too easy to overlook the fact that, in many cases, it's not just the foster carer who opens up their home to a child in need, it's the whole family.
