Strengthening parent-child relationships to promote child adjustment

本项目旨在提供新的见解，了解亲生父母和寄养父母如何在孩子过渡到高中或新的寄养安置时支持他们的孩子。它的目的是解决以关系为重点的预防战略缺乏的问题，这些战略是根据亲生父母和养父母的需要量身定制的，并在儿童生活的关键过渡时期提供。研究结果有望揭示依恋质量的影响，并推进以证据为基础的心理实践，以增强儿童的适应能力。

This project aims to provide new insight into how biological and foster parents can support their children during periods of heightened vulnerability when they transition to high school or a new foster care placement. It aims to address the shortage of relationally-focused prevention strategies tailored to both biological and foster parents’ needs and delivered at critical transitions in children’s lives. Outcomes are expected to shed light on the effects of attachment quality and to advance evidence-based psychological practice in enhancing child adjustment.
