In this episode, we sit down with Katoe & Rob, two experienced carers, to talk honestly about what fostering looks like over the long haul. They explore how their thinking has changed over time, why matching is more than a checklist, and how routine, transitions, and small everyday moments of care help children feel safe. We talk about practical reflections on staying curious about behaviour, supporting children through endings and change, and what parent-and-child fostering really asks of you (especially the skill of not stepping in too quickly). We hope you find this conversation insightful and useful
