Area of Science:

  • Child Development
  • Family Studies
  • Social Work

Background:

  • Foster care placements disrupt family bonds, necessitating structured visiting opportunities.
  • Effective parent-child interaction during visits is crucial for maintaining relationships and facilitating reunification.
  • Understanding the dynamics of foster care visits is essential for improving child welfare services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the spontaneous strategies mothers and young children employ during foster care visits.
  • To identify challenges encountered by families during these visits, particularly separation.
  • To provide insights for enhancing the quality of foster care visits and associated services.

Main Methods:

  • Case-based research involving nine mother-child dyads (children aged 24-48 months).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Videotaping of foster care visits to observe interactions.
  • In-depth, audiotaped interviews with mothers post-visit to gather qualitative data.

    • Main Results:

    • Mothers and children exhibited a wide range of responses and coping strategies during visits.
    • Mothers frequently discussed the difficulties associated with foster care visits, with separation being a key challenge.
    • Observed interactions revealed diverse negotiation tactics used by both mothers and children.

    Conclusions:

    • Foster care visits present unique complexities that require specific maternal and child strategies.
    • Addressing the challenges of separation during visits is critical for improving the visiting experience.
    • Findings can inform the development of targeted interventions and enhanced support services for foster families.
