Foster parents come from a wide variety of backgrounds, with diverse skills and talents.
Foster parents should know how to reduce the risk of escalating behavior, which can lead to aggression and violence. They must know the acceptable options and have the skills to use them. Any program for foster parents must be appropriate and suitable for home use with a broad age range of children and youth. Training must be condensed to cater to foster parent time constraints.
