Ed Hill-Thompson No No Sir John Timpson: Kindness, Trust and Attachment 3 3 Sir John Timpson: Kindness, Trust and Attachment bonus 51669fef-f87a-479d-895a-43ace67dd588 https://share.transistor.fm/s/5471ae02 In this episode, I sit down with Sir John Timpson to talk about fostering, attachment, and what it looks like in real life when you build a home around consistency and kindness. John shares how he and his late wife Alex fostered around 80 children, the moment “attachment” properly clicked for them, and why the question “why is this child behaving this way?” changes everything.

We also talk about the ripple effect fostering can have on a whole family, including how their children’s experiences helped shape the paths they took later in life, and how the same values show up in the way Timpson runs its business: trust first, people first, and second chances that are more than just good intentions.
