This afternoon at 3 p.m. local time, we invite our community to join the National Moment of Remembrance. It’s one minute of quiet reflection meant to pay tribute to those who died while serving our country.

It’s a brief interruption on a busy day, and an important acknowledgment of those who gave everything.

We try to match our children with families that share their culture and suit their needs. But taking in a child from a different culture is also an opportunity to incorporate traditions that will make them feel safe and comfortable in their new home.

Here are some traditions that may be important to your child if they come from a Jewish background:

🕯️ Shabbat: From sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday, Shabbat is a weekly day of rest. Many families use this time to unplug from screens, light candles, and share a special meal featuring braided Challah bread.

🍽️ Keeping Kosher: Some people who practice Judaism follow Kosher dietary guidelines. While the strictness varies, it generally involves avoiding certain foods (like pork and shellfish) and never mixing meat and dairy in the same meal.

🫶 Tzedakah: In many Jewish households, you will find a small box or tin specifically dedicated to collecting Tzedakah, which translates to righteous giving or charity. Families often make a habit of dropping a few coins into the box before lighting Shabbat candles.

Ask your child what traditions their family followed, and try to incorporate them into your home!

Foster care can seem complicated, but children's needs are often quite simple. They want love, a home, and, according to Ariana Rodriguez, to be listened to.

In many Asian American communities, the titles of “Aunty” and “Uncle” are not restricted to blood relatives. They are titles given to family friends, neighbors, and elders.​

This concept from Asian American communities reminds us of what we see in our work: Foster parents, neighbors, and mentors recognize children in the community as their responsibility, banding together to ensure they have love and security.​

Happy AAPI Month! We celebrate the contributions of Asian American cultures to our communities and appreciate the lessons they teach us.

How do you calm your child down if they’re having a moment?

Children who have experienced trauma may have big reactions to stressful events. Before you can ask them what’s going on, you may have to calm them down. This is something you can do together!

Here are some places to start:

1. Remove the child from the stimulating situation and calmly sit together.
2. Practice breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
3. Try a calming tool, such as a squeezable putty, or a repetitive behavior, such as rocking in a chair.

Then the real work of processing their emotions can begin!
