So here is what our program is about. The format is modules. each one subject, and each with activities, stories, and information. We began with learning Choice Theory, an idea originated by Dr. William Glasser. The whole program will build on this knowledge. I have noticed in my almost 50 years in foster care that besides learning to make good choices, the children need to know how to choose good friends and make meaninful relationships. The next most important thing I have noticed is that many foster children lack a value system.
The three subjects above will have a large part of the program, as well as a good sex education, an honest look at drug and alcohol difficulties and a module on building a family, using the children's new values to help build what they want their family of the future to look like.
We feel confident that we will do a better job than we have ever been able to do because the modules are a daily part of their lives and the program is intense.
