Summary

This pilot study tests a training program called PriCARE that teaches foster parents positive parenting skills like praise and effective limit-setting. The goal is to see if the program is practical and helpful for foster families. Researchers will enroll 60 foster caregivers and track attendance and changes in parenting behavior.
