Beatrice is the director of a newly established emergency interim care center for infants and toddlers (aged 4 to 36 months) awaiting placement with foster families. She wants to ensure that these vulnerable children experience minimal distress during their temporary stay, feel emotionally secure, and are prepared to form healthy relationship transitions with their future foster carers.
What advice might a developmental psychologist give Beatrice about how to structure the care center's routines and staffing to support the development of secure attachments and ease these critical transitions?
