đŦ Video Concept

đ Video Script / Narration
Hi, I'm Sarah, and I've been fostering with Benchmark Family Services for three years. I want to share something simple that completely changed bedtime in our house. When kids first come to us, bedtime can be really tough - there's anxiety, fear, sometimes tears. What I started doing was creating a 'safety check' routine. Before we turn off the lights, we walk through the house together. I show them where I'll be, we check that doors are locked, and I remind them exactly what will happen if they need me during the night. It sounds small, but for kids who've experienced uncertainty, knowing what to expect and feeling secure in their environment makes all the difference. Now our bedtime is peaceful, and the kids sleep so much better. Sometimes it's these little moments of predictability that help kids heal. If you're interested in fostering or want to learn more about supporting children in care, reach out to Benchmark Family Services. Every child deserves to feel safe and loved.
