Give new foster parents and adoptive parents some guidelines and practice to deal with issues that most often
cause placement disruptions (e.g., children's behavior during the grieving process; children's feelings toward birth or other families; working with the agency).
This didn't happen often, and it was usually a result of the phone's
placement causing a
disruption, but it's something we'd like to see eliminated at this price point.
Some things that can
cause a
disruption to the normal attachment process include neglect, abuse, separation from the primary caregiver, changes in the primary caregiver, frequent moves /
placements, traumatic experiences, maternal depression parental drug use or a parent's own attachment issues, chronic pain such as colic, or a child not being allowed to express their need.
