Hi
I am about to go to panel to be approved to adopt two little boys, who are currently living at separate foster carers. one is 2.5 and the other is 1.
One of the questions they will ask is how will we build a relationship between the two boys? they are seeing each other several times a week but it will be a big change for them living together.
Anyone got any tips?

I'm sure you have thought of it but at their age so young.. It really is mainly shared activity, talking about them being brothers etc?

30 is random
Don't get why it posted

I would say that you intend to be led by them but plan to do some activities separately (to promote bonding with you) and some together (to promote bonding with each other and reinforce the identity of the new family unit)

I'd also say that you will play games that promote sharing and taking turns, but ensure neither is threatened by making sure each has their own things (cups, bowls, toys)

Are they going to be sharing a room?
