Dawn and Roger have shared with us their top three tips for
helping a child to settle into a new placement.
1.
Let them choose their favourite food for their
first night. It’s one thing they will be sure about in all the confusion and
upset. It gives them a bit of control over a situation that’s out of their
control.
2.
Try and find out their interests so you can
complement that with duvet and posters in their new rooms.
3.
Take photos and start putting them up around the
house so feel they belong, like on the fridge or personalised cups with their
pictures on.
We hope you’ve enjoyed reading our post – what would be your
top tips for making a child feel welcome?
