Collaboratively compiled and edited by Lana Temple-Plotz, Ted P. Stricklett, Christena B. Baker, and Michael N. Sterba, Practical Tools For Foster Parents: Foster Care Solutions is a straightforward and "foster parent friendly" guide to creating a safe environment, building a positive relationship with a foster child, working with the foster child's parents (even when they are uncooperative or hostile), teaching a foster child decision-making skills, how to handling transitions, and much, much more. Practical Tools Forfoster Parents is very highly recommended reading for anyone looking into the challenges and rewards of foster care.

This is the most helpful book I have found on Foster parenting. Seems less to do with one person's presonal preferences and about how to help kids. I enjoyed it and could see practical applications.

This is a great book - there is so much useful information and practical tips that I had to mark pages to go back to later. It is impossible to digest and use everything after one read but I guarantee this is one book we will be going back to over and over! There are actual strategies for dealing with situations, effective and positive examples of how to communicate with children, and examples of how to handle situations. In my opinion this is a great book for any parent - doesn't have to be just for foster parents!

This book is a really good tool for anyone doing or thinking about doing this kind of work. Good practical information.
