Exhaustion from transitions:
Constant changes in homes, schools, and caseworkers can be taxing on anyone. It can be hard to settle, trust, or feel grounded.

The importance of normalcy (“just wanting to be a regular kid”):

Mistrust of systems:
Being in foster care can be abrupt moves and confusing decisions. Plans change without explanation. So, grace and understanding need to be given when kids in foster care are wary of certain systems.
