We too just starting fostering. Our first placement were a set of 3 siblings, 18 months to three years that we did temp placement for. My daughter, who is five, understood that they were only here for a short time. It was funny when they left, she said, whew that was a lot of hard work!!
Now we are fostering a fs 2 and a fd 1, that are going to great grandma soon. They have only been here a little over a month, so I know we are going to miss them, but she understands why they are leaving.
This Friday we are getting a newborn for respite care for two weeks. I am hoping this will fill the void for us until we get our next placement. By the way we are asking for a longer term placement next time.
Just be honest and explain as best you can for their age group.
