Curious: A Foster Mom's Discovery of an Unexpected Solution to Drugs and Addiction

CURIOUS is the story of Christina Dent, a foster mom who discovers an unexpected solution to drugs and addiction.

Christina Dent was a young woman when she first started fostering children. She had a good heart and wanted to make a difference in the lives of children who had been through trauma. But she quickly realized that the foster care system was not always equipped to provide the support that these children needed.

One day, Christina was fostering a young boy named Michael who was struggling with drug addiction. Michael had been through a lot in his short life, and he was acting out in ways that were both dangerous and self-destructive. Christina didn't know what to do with him, and she was starting to feel like she was failing him.

One day, Christina was talking to a friend who worked at a local addiction treatment center. Her friend told her about a new program that was having a lot of success with treating drug addiction in adolescents. The program was called "curiosity-based treatment," and it was based on the idea that people are more likely to change their behavior if they are curious about it.

Christina was intrigued by this approach, and she decided to try it with Michael. She started by asking him questions about his drug use. She didn't judge him or tell him that he was wrong. She just listened to him and tried to understand why he was doing what he was doing.

Over time, Michael started to open up to Christina. He told her about the trauma he had experienced, and he started to understand how his drug use was a way of coping with his pain. Christina didn't have all the answers, but she was there for Michael, and she listened to him without judgment.

With Christina's support, Michael was able to start to heal. He stopped using drugs, and he started to make better choices in his life. Christina was proud of him, and she knew that she had made a difference in his life.

Curious is a story about hope and redemption. It is a story about the power of love and compassion. It is a story about the importance of never giving up on someone, even when they have given up on themselves.
