Chamberlin, Patricia. "KEEP Program." Child Trends. Child Trends, June 4, 2014. Website. Nov. 24,
2017.
Summary: The KEEP program is a supplemental training program aimed towards foster parents with elementary aged kids. This program is meant to provide extra training involving behavior management and parenting practices. The program focuses on positive reinforcement, effective praise, and proper discipline. This website not only explains the program, it also has the details of different studies completed on families who have been through the KEEP program. The studies provide proof that this program has been effective in the lives of foster parents and children.
Quality: I found that the website was very clear with any definitions, and with the way the studies were resented. It's a very well organized page and I could also find the contact information for the author of this article. The author was also one of the evaluaters of the program. She went on interviews with the foster families who had completed the KEEP training and talked about the improvement shown among the families who participated.
Issues: Personally, I have no issues with the source.
Key Words/Phrases: KEEP, foster child, behavior, positive reinforcement, effective praise, child well-being
