Holidays may cause emotional triggers for foster children

Cincinnati has some wonderful events to celebrate the holidays. We will soon be seeing some beautiful firework displays for the Fourth of July celebration. For many people, the holidays are a time of celebration and happiness. In the world of foster care, holidays may instead present a challenge. This can occur for a variety of reasons. Holidays may have meant something very different when the child lived with their birth family. The child may have either sad or happy memories of those holidays. The holiday may stur emotions which may intensify the child's sense of loss at this time.
