Myth: Homelessness only affects single adults living on the streets.

Fact: In the 2025 Thurston County PIT Homeless Census report, about 41% of people experiencing homelessness were not single adults. Families with children, youth, and survivors of domestic violence can also experience homelessness. Many staying in shelters, cars, or temporarily with others.

Homelessness doesn’t always look the way people expect. Find out how you can support families and survivors by visitng fscss.org/get-involved

Parenting TIps from PowerParenting: Sibling Rivalry

Children do not need to be treated equally, they need to be treated uniquely! Some ways to practice this in your household:
- Instead of giving equal amounts “Here, now you have just as many grapes as your sister.”
- Give according to individual need “Do you want a few grapes, or a big bunch?”

- Instead of showing equal love “I love you the same as your sister
- Show the child he or she is loved uniquely “You are the only you in the whole wide world. No one could ever take your place.”

- Instead of spending equal time “After I‘ve spent ten minutes with your sister, I’ll spend then minutes with you.”
- Give time according to need “I know I’m spending alot of time going over your sister’s composition. It’s important to her. As soon as I’m finished, I want to hear what’s important to you.”

If you're wanting to join our next PowerParenting class, email our Parent Educator at [email protected]!
