“…The exception is the Eulliet et al ( 2008 ) study, which did not find any significant differences in attachment security according to age of placement. In this study of 36 foster children aged 3.6 to 5.6 years old (mean age at placement = 22.2 months, SD = 15.06), 88 % of children placed in foster care between 13 and 24 months old had secure attachments to 64 % of children placed after 25 months.…”

“…In the case of foster care children (Table 4 ), regardless of quality, all papers except one (Eulliet et al 2008 ) found that the distributions of attachment patterns are half way between institutionalised and community children when compared to control samples or general rates of attachment. The mean rate of secure attachment was 56.7 % (median = 55.5, range 45.8–69.4 %), avoidant 12.6 % (median = 8.5, range 4.2–30.6 %), ambivalent 5.58 % (median = 8.5, range 0–8.3 %) and disorganised 23.3 % (median = 28, range 0–41.7 %) (Bernier et al 2004 ; Cole 2005a , b , 2006 ; Dozier et al 2001 ; Moore and Palacio-Quintin 2001 ; Ponciano 2010 ; Smyke et al 2010 ).…”

BackgroundA large number of children are currently living in Alternative Care. The relationship they establish with their temporary caregivers can play a significant role in their development. However, little has been published regarding attachment with temporary Caregivers.ObjectiveThe aim of this review is to analyse the existing published studies regarding attachment styles in children living in alternative care (Children’s Homes and Foster Care). The review analyses rates of attachment styles and associated factors (including characteristics of settings, children and caregivers) in both settings.MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted searching electronic databases for peer reviewed publications in different languages. Studies considering attachment in children living in Children’s Homes or Foster families at the time of the study were included.ResultsOverall, 18 articles reporting 13 studies met the inclusion criteria. The results are presented in terms of characteristics of the studies, rates of attachment in different settings and possible mediating factors. Implications for practice and research are discussed.ConclusionsAttachment styles in children living in alternative care differ from those observed in children living with biological or adoptive families, however several factors can mediate this outcome (including characteristics of settings, children and caregivers). Most research has been conducted in Europe and USA. Therefore, further research is needed in less developed countries in order to guide local policies for better care.

“…Ainsi, la méta-analyse de van den Dries et al (2009) met en lumière que les enfants adoptés montrent significativement moins d'attachement sécure que des enfants biologiques alors que d'autres études mettent en évidence que les enfants adoptés présentent un attachement sécure dans des proportions similaires aux enfants biologiques (Juffer & Rosenboom, 1997 ;Ponciano, 2010). Ces différences dans les résultats peuvent s'expliquer par la prise en compte, ou pas, de certains facteurs, tels que l'âge de l'enfant lors de la séparation et les changements d'environnement, pouvant influencer l'attachement de l'enfant (Euillet, Spencer, Troupel-Cremel, Fresno, & Zaouche-Gaudron, 2008).…”

L'enfant adopté semble présenter pour lui-même et pour ses parents adoptifs des défis spécifiques en ce qui concerne la récupération de son attachement. Basée sur l'hypothèse du lien entre la sensibilité parentale des parents adoptant et l'attachement de l'enfant, cette étude vise à créer une intervention centrée sur la sensibilité parentale pour des familles adoptives belges francophones. Elle a été testée auprès de neuf familles adoptives dont les enfants avaient entre deux et 11 ans. Dans cette démarche exploratoire, la récupération de l'attachement et la modération du sentiment de compétence parentale ont été évaluées. Les tendances qui s'en dégagent mettent en évidence la pertinence de répliquer plus largement cette intervention. AbstractAdopted children seem to imply specific challenge for themselves and their adoptive parents regarding the recovery of their attachment representations. Based on the hypothesis relating parental sensitivity of adopting parents and children's attachment representations, this study aims to create an intervention based * Auteur correspondant.Adresse on parental sensitivity for adoptive French-speaking families.

In this exploratory research, the recovery of the children's attachment representations and the moderation of parental self-efficacy were assessed.

Background Children and youth residential care institutions were forced to introduce adaptations to their regular functioning in order to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic challenges. Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the lockdown on the adolescents’ psychological adjustment and whether adolescents’ perceived cohesion mitigated the increase of adolescents` psychological adjustment problems. Participants Participants were 243 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years, living in 21 different residential care institutions. Results The results suggested a moderating role of cohesion on the stability of adolescents’ emotional distress across time. Lower levels of cohesion were related with higher emotional distress stability across time. On the contrary, as cohesion increased, the association between adolescents’ emotional distress at T0 and T1 decreased. Discussion Results are discussed considering the mechanisms raised by the institutions to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and minimize the negative effects on the psychological adjustment of adolescents living in residential care.
