Fostering practice
Attachments
The development of the bond between an infant and their primary caregivers is primordial for their development, especially while they are young. This bond is called "attachment". When a child is unable to develop this bond, it may affect their wellbeing and can have long-lasting effects. Unfortunately, many children in care suffer from attachment issues.
