I've resteemed and followed you. I would love to talk with you about this subject. My goal is to make a Foster and Temporary safety parents support group.
For right now I want to tell you that Yes, it does make a difference.
My oldest foster boy was unresponsive when we got him at 7 weeks old. We thought he was blind and deaf and slowly through lots of love and care he started repsonding. He's now a year old and crawling around, laughing, eating, chatting away and very close to starting to walk. He is delayed by 6 months but the happiest little guy you ever saw. :)
For a baby, the brain's ability to form new neuron pathways is improved with constant positive input which enables them to thrive in life.
Don't give up! Every bit counts.
Much love
Gretha
