What are some behaviors of foster kids? Family thinking about fostering a child. 2part?
I was just wondering what was some of the general behaviors. Which I'm guessing it varies with the trauma the child has gone threw. But any general ideas? (My mom wants to foster a kid.) Also, is there rules for the kids living in the house (bio-kids to the adults)?

the behaviors varies as the sand on the beach. I've observed the perfect foster child to the kids who lie, steal, swear, disobey, children who run away, are aggressive toward other children, act out sexually, start fires, teens who jump on beds, ---you name it.

But you can limit the kids you take in placement. You should have a list by your phone and when they call with a possible placement you ask questions pertaining to behaviors that you don't want to deal with. If you get a child in placement and it doesn't work for you call And write the caseworker and give her 14 days to find another placement for the child. Most will tell you up front the behaviors of the child because they don't want to replace the child in a week or two due to not being upfront with you to start with. pregnancy question and answers

A foster child of the same sex of a bio child Can share the room with the bio child.
BE CAUTIOUS WITH THIS BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY that the foster child might have been sexually abused.

The foster parents will attend training before hand and will be taught about these factors.
Foster kids have rules just as you do BUT not all are the same for the foster child. It is illegal to use corporal punishment with a foster child.No spanking, smacking,hand smacking, hand over the mouth, pinching, biting, etc the foster child.

There aren't any specific predictors. You can see what type of abuse they have been through and from there, you may be able to see some of the ways they MAY act out. In the end, foster children need love and stability. It may be trying at first, but I am sure you will find it rewarding in the end.

Well, they like to play, and run, and eat candy and watch movies etc.

Your mother is the one who needs to be asking this question and trust me this ISN'T the place for her, or you, to be doing so.
