Cracks in the Foundation: Kids in Care explores the hidden roots of attachment and separation faced by children in foster care, blending developmental psychology, personal narratives, and modern policy insights. Drawing on pioneers like Freud, Bowlby, and Winnicott, Dr. Lanetta Greer reveals how early caregiving-beginning before birth-shapes outcomes long into adolescence. Each chapter offers actionable Practice Pivots for professionals, foster parents, and advocates, serving as a bridge between theory and healing practice. Through vivid examples and research, readers gain a deep understanding of how trauma, systemic inequities, and disrupted bonds impact youth and families, while learning how stability and sensitivity can rebuild trust. Designed for caregivers, educators, and anyone dedicated to changing foster care systems, the book provides a roadmap for repairing broken foundations, nurturing resilience, and restoring hope-reminding everyone that attachment is not optional.
