Resumen

CARVALHO, Cíntia; MOURA, Gabriella Garcia  y  AMORIM, Kátia de Souza. Care practices of children with babies in a foster institution. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.3, pp. 48-72. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2019.v13.25781.

Aiming to investigate care practices of children with babies in institutional care, an exploratory and longitudinal case study was conducted accompanying Ana, a baby aged between 10-12 months. Based on weekly video recordings made in a naturalistic environment, episodes of care were categorized. Three final categories were described: attention-oriented care; request-oriented care (the child met the infants' expressed needs); stress-oriented care (the child acted upon a risk to the baby). The empathic and pro-social character of those practices, their potential to promote foster children's development and learning, and the formation of their social-affective network were discussed. The mediating role of the adult in planning the environment, the supervision and the signification of the children's actions in these encounters was also highlighted.

Palabras clave : Child care; Foster child; Social interaction.
