[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 596760, member: 14557"] Ahh, you meant difference between BB/BS-programs and respite parenting? At least here in BB/BS-programs the idea is to provide male/female role model to a kid who is lacking one and they usually meat for few hours a time. Respite parenting has bit different aim. In this program the aim is to give a breather for the parent(s) and help them carry on. And yes, in some cases to provide to the kids something they may be lacking (that role model, one-on-one time with an adult etc.) And kids stay longer. In this program we are considering, one weekend (from Friday night to Sunday night) a month and one weekday evening. And at some cases a week during the summer. In CPS program official aim is about the same, but in reality aim is most often to give the kids a chance to see how ordinary family works or in some cases simply full fill the legal obligation to offer all possible help before taking the kids.
