Summer guides for FAS caregivers offer practical tips
Summer for FAS children poses challenges for parents and foster caregivers. Seek help from friends and family with consistent rules, arrange shared supervision, and plan activities. Include children with walks, parks, or pool trips. Do not rely on the child entertaining themselves alone. join in games and crafts. Use community programs like Rec Centre and Tansi Friendship Centre, with brochures and phone numbers provided. Maintain regular counselor or youth worker contact if possible for smoother summer and school transition. Prioritize caregiver self care by resting, saying no, staying positive, and sharing joy with the child.
