I have an older teenager coming soon who is leaving foster care and will be supported lodging with me until they get their own place. I want them to feel welcome and supported and would welcome any advice anyone has. I thought maybe rather than 'the rules of the house' making them a little how the house works guide, like with the Wi-Fi codes in, when dinner is usually cooked for, how the washing machine works in a similar style to the ones you get in holiday cottages. I was planning to take them to buy their own bedding and towels but would welcome advice on if this seems like something that might be seem as excluding them in your stuff/mine kind of way. It will be the first time I've done any fostering so all feedback welcome
