Summary
This completed study tested the Circle of Security Parenting program for foster carers in France. 70 foster carers were randomly assigned to either the program plus usual support or usual support alone. Researchers measured changes in caregiver sensitivity, stress, and relationship quality to see if the program helps improve bonds with children aged 1 to 6 years.
