After all, every day offers opportunities to model and teach children about nutrition, exercise, and caring for their bodies. On top of that, resource parents take children to appointments and provide hands-on care to help them manage colds and more serious medical conditions.<\/p>\n<p>To support this essential work, this issue provides information on a variety of subjects related to the health of young people in foster care. In it you\u2019ll find ideas for managing food-related behaviors in children who have experienced trauma, as well as tips related to diabetes care, oral health, the HPV vaccine, and more. We hope you find it helpful.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #803c93;\">* * * * * *<\/span><\/h6>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #803c93;\">Quick Tips for Foster Parents and Kin Caregivers<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fosteringperspectives.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/quick-tip_1b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1129 size-full alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/fosteringperspectives.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/quick-tip_1b.jpg\" width=\"144\" height=\"145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fosteringperspectives.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/quick-tip_1b.jpg 144w, https:\/\/fosteringperspectives.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/quick-tip_1b-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/fosteringperspectives.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/quick-tip_1b-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 144px) 100vw, 144px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">At Placement<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For kids ages 0 &#8211; 3, ask if there\u2019s been a referral to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beearly.nc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">early intervention services<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>If DSS doesn\u2019t share health summary forms <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ncdhhs.gov\/info\/olm\/forms\/dss\/dss-5206-ia.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5206<\/a> (Initial Visit), <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ncdhhs.gov\/info\/olm\/forms\/dss\/dss-5208-ia.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5208<\/a> (30-Day Comprehensive Visit), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ncdhhs.gov\/info\/olm\/forms\/dss\/dss-5209-ia.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5209 <\/a>(Well Visit), follow up\u2014they contain key information!<\/li>\n<li>Inform the child\u2019s doctor (whose name will be on the child\u2019s Medicaid card) the child is in your care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Communication<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tell the agency of any significant development in a child\u2019s health, or if you need help with the child\u2019s physical care.<\/li>\n<li>Maintain open communication with the agency.
