Here's the not-so-secret formula to parenting: CONNECTION > PERFECTION Kids don’t need perfect. There's no such thing as a perfect parent. Just be real. Be present. Be devoted. And be gracious (including with yourself). Don't let the fear of being imperfect hold you back in your fostering journey. If you're considering becoming a foster parent, visit BRIDGEWAY.ca or reach out to us. #ParentingEncouragement #ParentingQuote #ThisIsFosterCare #FosterParenting #FosteringJourney #FosterParent #FosterParents #FosterParentsNeeded #FosterCare #OntarioFosterCare #FosterCareOntario #OntarioCanada
