ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the best way of rearing children guarded by welfare  in stitutions. Methods Grouping the rearing methods into two categories randomly, traditional orphanages and foster care, then using their height, weight, Gesell development schedules and Ages and Stages Questionnaires-Third Edition to compare their physical development, psychological health, behaviour, and cognition progress from the data collected when they were 12 months old in both categories. Results For children between age 0.5 month to 1.5 month old,  by comparing the data collected when they were 12 month old,  the study found that there was no statistical difference in physical development between these two groups of children in main indicators of height (t=0.94, P=0.349>0.05) and weight(t=1.843, P=0.068>0.05).  However, children in family foster care shown advantage in area of motor ability(t =2.102, P=0.037<0.05) ,  gross motor skill (t=2.566, P=0.011<0.05), fine motor skill (t=2.825,P=0.005<0.01), which had statistical significance. Foster care children also shown big advantage in area of cognitive ability (t=2.479 ,P=0.014<0.05), behaviour(t=2.535,P=0.012<0.05), problem resolving ability(t=3.241, P=0.001<0.01), personal-social(t=3.173,P=0.001<0.01), the differences were statistically significant. Especially for verbal ability, foster care children had significant advantage in both measurements (t=6.329、4.886,P=0.000<0.01).  Conclusion Family foster care should be chosen as much as possible in rearing children whose guardians are welfare institutions.
