2) Creating Responsible Resource Families (rights & responsibilities, acronyms, record- keeping)

3) Welcoming a Child/Sibling Group into your Home (the “First Day”, communication, positive discipline, resiliency)

4) Transitions (children arriving & departing, grief & loss, birth parent interaction)
