Under 26 TAC Section 748.701, “normalcy” is defined as the ability of a child in care to live as normal a life as possible, including engaging in childhood activities that are suitable for children of the same age, level of maturity and developmental level as determined by a reasonable and prudent parent standard.
 
Thank you Denver Lake Norman Rotarians for your support in providing access to a range of experiences for children while they are in foster care. These are the same important experiences that any typical child of the same age would have cherished memories of.  Research provides us with evidence that experiences, activities and play help them build relationships, develop skills, and prepare for adulthood.
