This information is provided to assist you in having pleasant and meaningful visits with your child
• It is veryimportant for you to attend every visit on time. If you do not do this, your child willbe
disappointed when they are at the visit and you are not. If you have a problem getting to the visit or know that
you are likely tobe late,contact your caseworker as soon as you can to inform the caseworker you will be
late or are having a problem getting to the visit.
• It is
best not to make promises to your child during visitation,but if you do make a promise, such as “next
time Isee you Iwillbring your favorite book from home,” make sure you fulfill that promise.
• You can bring toys, clothes and pictures from home to the visit, If you have questions about the
appropriateness of an item, contact your caseworker prior to the visit.
• Show your child affection (i.e.hugs and handholding) during the visit unless you have specifically been
ordered not toby the court or your caseworker.
• The visit willbe observed and there are two reasons for this: to ensure the safety and well-being of your
child, and to gather information that willhelp improve future visits.
• Your child may ask difficult questions such as “when can I come home?” You should not respond with a
specific date because that can change along the way and you don’t want to disappoint your child. A good
response could be “I hope itis soon, but I’m so glad Iget to see you now.” Your child will probably ask this
several times and possibly every time they talk to you.
• Your child may also not behave ina way you expect. If your childis fussy or upset, it may be because so
much change is happening inyour child’s life or your childis tiredor had a bad day. Take this opportunity to
positively comfort, support and talk to your child about what is going on in their life.
• If your childtalks to you about their foster parent or family, you should listenand respond ina positive
way. Although it may be difficult that your childcannot be with you right now, you should be as supportive as
possible of the foster parent or family because they are taking care of your child and it is
important that your
child not feel bad about that. If you do have a concern about the foster parent or family, do not discuss it with
your child or in front of your child. Inform the caseworker of your concerns after the visit,and if you have a
lawyer, you may want to discuss with them as well.
• If you have questions about the visit or what was observed during the visit, you should feelfree to ask
the person observing you. If theperson observing your visit uses a visitation observation form to document
what happens at the visit, you should be given a copy of that form.
• If you have questions about your case or future visits, ask your caseworker after the visit.
• Don’t talk to your child about your CPS case or caseworker during the visit.Use this opportunity to spend
time with your child and enjoy your child’s company. If your childasks questions about your case, suggest

that the child ask the caseworker. If your child has an attorney ad litem or a CASA volunteer, you might also
suggest that your child ask them any case related questions.
You may have a difficult timeafter and between visits. Talk to people inyour life about how you are
feeling. It might even be a good idea to tell them about the visit ahead of time so you can have support ready
for you. At the end of your visit,goodbyes can be difficult for youand your child. During the last 5 minutes,
plan what you will do on your next visit together. Try putting it onpaper and lettingthe child take ithome with
them. During the visit you can give your child something from home or draw a picture with them so they have
something to hold onto in between visits.Do not prolong the goodbye as it will
make it harder for you and
your child.
If the visit didn’t go as youhad hoped or planned, don’t be hard on yourself! Learn about what you need
to improve and remember that there are no perfect parents. You just need to keep trying tobe the best
parent you can be for your child!
